Plot

Captain Safonov sends his beloved, scout Valya, on a mission to a Nazi-occupied city, where a brutal general has just arrived to take command. Valya's task is to gather intelligence, with Safonov's mother acting as a contact. Meanwhile, the situation for Soviet forces is dire as they run out of food and water with no reinforcements in sight. Valya is assigned to destroy a strategic bridge, but her mission is compromised by a German spy embedded in the Soviet unit. The spy is caught but manages to alert the Germans, leading to an ambush at the crossing where Valya is captured. To assist her and mislead the German command, Safonov sends an experienced scout, Lieutenant Globa, into the city. At the same time, the grieving wife of the city mayor, distraught over her son's death fighting for the Red Army, poisons the newly arrived general.

Globa successfully deceives the German command, diverting their attention from the critical bridge and redirecting their forces toward Major Vasin's unit. To test Globa's claims of being a defecting Soviet soldier, the Germans imprison him alongside Valya and an informant. Globa maintains his cover under interrogation. At the critical moment, Soviet troops march into the city via the bridge. As the Germans retreat, they execute the prisoners, but Globa shields Valya, sacrificing himself to save her.
