His first film, ''Diez segundos'' (Ten Seconds), was based on Horacio Estol's 1946 book on the Argentine boxer Luis Ángel Firpo. The book was weak and Wehner was inexperienced, resulting in a disappointing film.<ref>{{cite book |page=89 |title=De la fuga a la fuga: diccionario de films policiales |author=Roberto Blanco Pazos, Raúl Clemente |publisher=Corregidor |year=2004 |ISBN=950-05-1528-8}}</ref> ''Rio Turbio'' is a melodrama about miners in the remote town of Rio Turbio, communicating a patriotic message about the New Argentina.<ref>{{cite book |page=124 |title=Brief history of Argentine cinema |author=Caesar Maranghello |publisher=Laertes |year=2005 |ISBN=84-7584-532-0}}</ref>
