The plot of the film is based on real events of the Great Patriotic War. When the Nazis occupied Crimea, the actors of the drama theater of the city of Simferopol entered the underground group Sokol.

En Italia, una mujer antes de morir le dice a su nieta que ella escondió su tesoro hace muchos años en Rusia, en la ciudad de Leningrado. Otras personas (que estaban allí cuando murió) también se enteran de ello. Así, muchas personas llegan a Leningrado tratando de encontrar el tesoro, cada uno para sí mismo. Lo que es peor la única información que tienen es que el tesoro se encuentra bajo un león y es en Leningrado, una ciudad conocida por sus numerosas estatuas de leones. La historia se vuelve aún más interesante cuando la milicia soviética (la policía) se entera de todo y manda un agente encubierto.
