Luis and Rosa are aboard their fishing boat, having survived the atomic bomb explosion.....but both were affected by the harmful radiation. Luis is dying and disappointed that he won't live to see the birth of their child. Somehow, however, Rosa survived, making it back to their home in Argenta and giving birth to a boy, Pedro. Knowing her days are numbered, she takes Pedro to the President's office, but passes away before she can see him. The President soon discovers this young child, due to radiation, has become a genius, and is made the new Prime Minister of the nation.
