At the end of September 1941, Soviet artillery troops in besieged Leningrad realize that pretty soon they will fire their last shot, and after that the defense of the city will be doomed. The film is based on a true event: a small group of fearless soldiers transported a large supply of gunpowder through enemy lines to Leningrad.

In the second movie colonel Zorin is trying to find a stolen "Black Prince" diamond.

The king married an intelligent and beautiful peasant girl, but he was not very smart himself, and his wife's superiority offended him. He sent his wife away, however, allowing her to take with her what she holds most dear. She gave the king a sleeping drink, and when he fell asleep, she took him to her hut: he was the most precious to her. Touched, the king returned his wife to the palace.
