A partisan detachment is charged with the task of destroying a German column of special troops on a punitive expedition to the liberated areas. In order to reach the place where the ambush is to be laid, the partisans must cross the rear of the enemy unnoticed. The battle, between the German well-equipped column and the Albanian detachment armed with weapons captured from the enemy, was a very strong one. The partisan nurse, Shaniko, is killed while fighting to destroy the German column.
