Vergeblich hat Marco seine ausgewanderte Mutter in Buenos Aires gesucht. Sie ist mit der Familie, bei der sie im Dienst steht, nach Cordova verzogen. Ein Weg voller Abenteuer und Entbehrungen liegt vor Marco, denn auch in Cordova ist seine Mutter nicht mehr. Er muss sich nach Tucuman durchschlagen.

Zwar hat Marco auf der Suche nach seiner Mutter Tucuman erreicht, aber noch immer findet er sie nicht, denn seine Mutter ist schwer erkrankt. Wieder ist es ein glücklicher Zufall, der Marco endlich zu seiner Mutter führt, doch nun bleibt die Frage, ob das Wiedersehen der Mutter helfen oder sie töten wird.

Marco wird mit dem Alleinsein nicht fertig und beschließt - die Geschichte spielt ja um 1895 und da war Kinderarbeit nicht ungewöhnlich - arbeiten zu gehen, um die Schulden des Vaters abzutragen und so dafür zu sorgen, dass Mutter bald nach Hause kommen kann.

Marcos Eltern haben Schulden und sehen keinen anderen Ausweg, als dass Marcos Mutter sich als Dienstmädchen nach Argentinien verdingt. Marco muss mit seinen 10 Jahren mit diesem Schicksal fertig werden. Das fällt sehr schwer, zumal damals - die Geschichte spielt um 1895 - die Postverbindungen nach Argentinien umständlich und langwierig sind.

Was nutzt alle Arbeit und alles Glück der Familie, wenn die Postverbindung zur ausgewanderten Mutter abgebrochen ist. Marcos Mutter scheint in Argentinien verschwunden zu sein. Für Marco gibt es nur eines: Auch wenn er erst 10 Jahre alt ist, er muss die Mutter in Argentinien suchen. Durch einen Zufall nimmt ihn ein Schiff mit, aber in Argentinien warten bittere Enttäuschungen.
