The feature film is based on actual events in 1905 and focuses on the sailors' uprising in the port of Odesa. The poor food supply on board a warship led to a protest by the sailors, which the captain tried to suppress by force. The sailors receive support from the population in the form of food. When the Tsar's army moves against the rebels, the situation comes to a head. The warship sails out to sea, where a squadron of admirals awaits. Fraternization between the crews of the ships ensues.
