Civil war and famine are raging in Siberia. A backward, poor peasant encounters the noble Russian Tatjana and, under torture, saves her life. When Sergei later looks up Tatjana to reap the rewards of his heroic deed in the form of friendship, he’s left sorely disappointed. She’s in love with someone else and wants nothing to do with him. As the fighting escalates, a now morbidly jealous Sergei sees his chance – the revolution makes everyone equal and Tatjana can finally belong to him!
