Full plot (contains spoilers)
A winter in the early 1930s. Marko, a Croatian nationalist and a hero who has become a symbol of the struggle, belongs to a radical movement. The group is planning an assassination attempt on the Yugoslav king, so Marko is to keep as low a profile as possible for the time being. Since Marko has been recognized and the police are looking for him, he hides in a country manor in rural Hungary. He would much rather fight, but the people around him try to stop him. He becomes involved with Ilona, until he realizes that she has been assigned to seduce him and thus dissuade him from his plans for an assassination. Ilona returns to her lover, Maria. When a group of enemy agents turns up, Marko disarms the men, who are then executed by his comrades. In the end, the movement sacrifices him because he is more useful to it as a martyr than alive.
