The young Joseph Estrada (introduced as Jose Ejercito) in his first movie with Charito Solis



“How much is love worth in hard cash? P10,000? P20,000? Or is it worth a woman’s life- a man’s honor? Claudio thought that money was everything- until Loida taught him that love is not on a cash and carry basis!” says the blurb in the 1957 movie P10,000 Pag-ibig.

The movie is about love for a price. Don Artemio (Oscar Keese) has a son named Fred (Joseph Estrada, introduced here as Jose Ejercito). He is having a problem since Fred is wooing a country girl named Loida (Charito Solis), which the father vehemently disapproves of. He wants his son for another woman known to their family.
Don Artemio makes a deal with Claudio (Eddie Rodriguez), an ordinary and simple guy, to court Loida to derail or spoil Fred, and if he wins her, he stands to get a whooping 10,000 pesos.
Claudio wins, but rejects the money and asks Loida to be his wife. Loida accepts but later learns that all is a farce and a hoax. She runs away and Claudio is disheartened. He drinks and his life is a big mess.

Well, it's an happy ending after all--- see the clip below---
