After the war is over, Suchow decides to return to his hometown Samara . But on the way home Suchow is given another task: he has to look after nine freed harem ladies . In a small coastal town he holed up with the women in the local museum and awaited the attack of their former owner, the bandit Abdullah. The shabby Tsarist customs officer Wereschtschagin and the silent nomad Said support Sukhov in the showdown against his gang of many.

Since a Russian space crew watched and successfully launched the film after the Soyuz 11 accident , the film has become a must for all cosmonauts who watch the film before taking off into space. Originally, the film served cosmonauts as an example of camera technology for their own films in space, but it became a lucky charm.
