When Shura's sister dies, Shura starts taking care of her newly orphaned niece. Her fiancee, Grisha thinks the child may be Shura's own, and his suspicions estrange them. This leaves the way clear for a shy neighbor who has loved her from afar to gain points as a potential mate.

It tells the story of the 26 Artillery Division of the Soviet Red Army.

The movie's opening sequence takes place in 1921, towards the end of Russia's civil war, as the Red Army are vanquishing the last Menshevik forces of the White Guard along the western frontier.
