Synopsis for "False Prophet"
A Spanish Conquistador, Pedro Armandez, is one of two survivors of an Inca ambush, and he murders the other one, to possess their remaining suppies, then hikes as far as he can get before thirst and hunger lay him low. He's found by some Incas and carried to their city where he meets a priest, who arrived there much the same way as himself. The natives wear gold trinkets, and Armandez' greed is aroused. Despite the pleas and warnings of the priest, he pretends to be God, and the Incas believe him. He starts bossing everybody around, and when the priest protests, he kills him with a blunderbuss. Soon he has these Incas raiding and looting other Inca towns, and bringing him all the gold in the region. But when he tries to pack up all the gold and sneak it out of town on the backs of some llamas, the Incas crucify him.
