Synopsis

In 1868, Jarmon, a young African boy, and his sisters Kindra and Karla struggle to live after the death of their parents. Jarmon, in his spare time and in order to supplement his wages as a thirteen-year-old working in the African diamond mines, hunts for diamonds along the Orange River in Africa. One morning, while hunting diamonds, Jarmon finds he is accosted by the mine owner and is knocked unconscious. The following day the mine owner fires Jarmon, kidnaps his sisters, and plans to take them back to Holland. Finding that he is unable to get his sisters back, Jarmon seeks out a local witch doctor to have a curse placed on the stolen diamonds. In a fit of anger Jarmon seeks out the aid of an African native inyanga to place a curse on the diamonds. It is believed that the curse has caused numerous mysterious deaths of the previous owners of the diamonds. One hundred years later, Grant Powers purchases the diamonds to have made into a thirty-fifth wedding anniversary gift for his wife. In order to save the political life of Grant Powers’s brother, Grant and Marianne Powers agree to adopt and raise the illegitimate child of Grant’s brother. While vacationing the diamond ring is stolen, and the Powers are killed in an automobile accident. The caregiver simply keeps the child and raises her as her own. The true identity of the child and the eventual recovery of the stolen diamond leads to the final removal of the curse.
