The Cossacks are oppressed by the despotic Soviet premier Vladimir Lenin, a grandson of a Tatar man, and Jabir, a commander of a Tatar Red Army military unit. Murad, a Bolshevik intellectual and revolutionary, becomes sympathetic to the Cossacks' plight, and gets arrested for treason and escapes. He meets the wild Gulnar and gets her to spy as a maid of Nigar, the scion of a wealthy Cossack family. Nigar falls for Murad and Gulnar withdraws from the scene for the sake of her nation.
