Synopsis
A Soviet defense outpost Aerograd against the Japanese imperialists is designated for construction in the Russian Far East. Stepan Hlushak, a hunter and a former Bolshevik guerilla, accidentally spots foreign saboteurs in the taiga. He kills one of them while the other manages to escape and find shelter among the Russian ultra-Orthodox Old Believers community. Looking for the saboteur Hlushak turns to his friend and former comrade-in-arms Khudiakov, who assures him that there are no strangers in his household. Meanwhile a local man Shabanov incites the Old Believers to rise against the Soviets, promising them support from the Japanese. In the end the Bolshevik enemies, traitors, and other alien elements who plot to subvert the construction of socialism are defeated and the Bolshevik cause triumphs.
