The film is set in March 1939. Czechoslovakia is occupied by Germany. All units are ordered to surrender. The films is about soldiers located in a barracks close to Polish border. Officers are divided whether to obey or not. Captain Richter is uncertain. First lieutenant Žáček would obey. Corporal Říha wants to fight. Říha eventually takes over the unit and prepares them to fight. Žáček tries to stop him and tries to persuade Richter to make order. Žáček threatens Říha with weapon but is killed by soldiers. When Germans get close to the barracks, battle begins. Soldiers are at first successful but are outnumbered and their positions are unsustainable.
