Synopsis edit
One of the southern ports are taken over by the whites. After a failed attempt to steal ammunition from the barracks for the partisans, Nikolai Razdolny (A. Matsevich) runs to a lighthouse where the guerrillas have strengthened their positions. White Guards establish surveillance of Nicholas' father, Ivan (V. Yaroslavtsev), who previously did not share the views of his son. When they arrest the revolutionary command of the "Swan" ship together with older Razdolny, the mechanic, they order him to assume his former responsibilities. When the "Swan" is approaching the lighthouse, the mechanic opens the Kingston, and the ship begins to sink.
