[edit]

During the Russian Civil War, a circus troupe travels along the frontlines, performing for both the White Army and the Red Army.

One day, the situation changes dramatically: the circus is requisitioned and converted into a propaganda vehicle, with the performers placed under the control of the political department of the Red Army unit. Young tightrope walkers Serge and Masha, evaluating the political situation, voluntarily enlist in the Red Army and soon take part in battles against the forces of Anton Ivanovich Denikin.
