Plot
1918. Troubled in Petrograd. The enemy ring is already tightening around the revolutionary city. Work shelves are leaving for the front. The struggle against the enemies of Soviet power goes not only on the outskirts of the city, but also in the rear. Komsomol organizations are being created at this harsh and difficult time for the revolution at the behest of the Bolshevik Party on the workers' outskirts. The first young workers join the Young Communist League – Stepan Barabash, Sanya Chizhik, Glasha, Kuzma. After some hesitation and meditation, the peasant boy Fyodor, who came from a remote village to work in St. Petersburg, and the gymnast Zhenya Gorovsky become peasants. In days of intense battles, young patriots, together with detachments of the Workers' Guards, go to defend Petrograd.
