A young officer in the army of Empress Catherine of Russia is on his way to his new duty station at a remote outpost.

When the man is well enough to travel, the two part company and the man vows to repay the officer for saving his life. Soon after he arrives at his new post, a revolt by the local Cossacks breaks out and the fort is besieged by the rebels.
