World War II. Three partisans: a Pole, a Slovak and a Hungarian hide in an old castle from Germans chasing them. The castle inhabitants decide to help them and when the Hitler soldiers arrive, they try to outsmart them. Despite all their efforts, the truth comes to light and the castle becomes a real battleground. The besieged are rescued by a troop which the three fugitives belong to. The Germans are defeated, however the castle inhabitants have to leave with the partisans.
