When the Fire Spirit claims that only the water from the Magic Lake can save the son, The Inca offers a reward for anyone who will bring the water. A young farm girl, Sumac, has a brother who covets this reward and sets out to find the lake but becomes discouraged and devises a plan to bring water from an ordinary lake. When his deception is discovered, The Inca sentences him to death. Sumac, stays the execution when she promises to find the Magic Lake, or die trying. With the help of a sparrow, a magic feather, and her own bravery against fearsome guardians of the lake, Sumac gets the healing water and brings it to The Inca. But just as things are about to end "happily ever after", the Fire Spirit returns for The Inca's life. Instead, Sumac throws herself upon the Fire Spirit in The Inca's place, an action that transforms her into a star of hope for the world.
