During the Russian Civil War, a circus troupe travels along the frontlines, performing for both the White Army and the Red Army.
One day, the situation changes dramatically: the circus is requisitioned and converted into a propaganda vehicle, with the performers placed under the control of the political department of the Red Army unit.
