thumb|The full film In the years leading up to the Russian Revolution, Tasia (Dolores del Río), a young peasant schoolteacher, lives in a rural village oppressed by the cruelty of the Cossacks.

Filled with bitterness and a desire for revenge, Tasia’s life is upended when the towering peasant-soldier Ivan Petroff (Ivan Linow) pays her relatives for her hand in marriage.
