The young Maria is an Indian . She lives with her teenage brother Michael in an Indian village. The village is very poor. Hawk, an Indian who went into town, offers his village a shop. You're supposed to sell an island to a company. This would like to build a congress center there.

However, there is a curse on the island . It served as a burial place for the Indian tribe and is sacred. One old woman in particular is strongly opposed to these plans. This is Maria's grandmother. Her grandmother tells Maria a lot about the ancient rituals of the tribe. Maria, however, is more interested in modern times than in ancient traditions. But she still takes a magical amulet from her grandmother.

The two youngsters Maria and Michael receive a visit from the city from the white youngster Willie and his younger brother Klim. The four of them go on a canoe tour together. Suddenly the canoe can no longer be steered due to strange circumstances, so that you land on the island of spirits .

Hawk comes to this island too. He thinks he can cope with superstitions. The fact that eagles nest on the island is more tangible. And they are under nature protection , so that the construction plans could fail. The four discovered this and try to stop Hawk from simply shooting the eagles.

However, they are caught by Hawk and locked in a cave. Maria begins to believe in the powers of the ancient traditions and with the help of the amulet she finds a way out of the cave. So the four of them can save the eagles and the island from the building speculators just in time.
