During the 1905 Revolution, secret police arrest a man travelling under the identity of the merchant Karlsons, suspecting that he is in fact a prominent revolutionary. His tense psychological duel with secret police chief Greguss becomes a battle of wits, as each tries to uncover the other’s intentions. Meanwhile, underground revolutionaries devise a daring operation to free their captured comrade.

A chronicle created from archival materials, which in terms of form continues the path of montage films once begun by Braun. The events in the film take place during the period from the 1905 revolution to the manifestations of Latvia's efforts to regain independence in the Baltic Way and the Third Awakening.
