In a railway station far from the front line, senior sergeant Vaskov is stationed with a group of young female anti-aircraft gunners. Suddenly German paratroopers appear in the forest near their garrison. The senior sergeant and five female gunners, though outgunned and outnumbered, fight the Germans in the forest.
