Plot synopsis
To what far off corners of the earth did Fate cast the Russian people left unwanted by their Motherland after the upheaval of 1917! In the history of the Far Eastern Exodus, the most exotic place Fate found for the Russian refugees from Red China was the Philippine island of Tubabao. On this little bit of land in the midst of the boundless ocean, those city people were surrounded by the joys of impassable jungles until the great Saint of the 20th century, Archbishop John of Shanghai, finally achieved their right to leave.
