A Rio Reuelto, directed by the Chilean Luis A. Morales from a story by Ricardo Villarán, was shown to the indifference of the public and critics, and few testimonies about it survive. It is known, however, that he wanted to combine the formula of Creole comedy, which had been the heritage of Amauta Films productions, with ingredients and characters drawn from the social milieu, following the model that had achieved relative success in Penas de Amor, the previous film by the Huascarán company.

The plot draws inspiration from crime films of the early 1930s, showing scenes of chases and shootouts between smugglers and police in Callao.
