The Time of Miracles

A woman aspires to get rich and surrenders to a wealthy old man who will marry her. The wife has a daughter from another man who denies her paternity, and the old man has a son and a daughter from a former wife. The old man indulges in gambling and leaves the rope to his wife in the west. She meets a young man who covets her husband’s wealth, so he blackmails him and plans to get rid of the husband to be inherited by his wife. To implement the plan, she must pretend to love the old man until he shocks the father.
