Niyole, a Red Army spy is sent behind the enemy lines in order to hunt German general.

Bored without friends, seven-year-old Olezhka wrote a letter to the newspaper asking them to send him tin soldiers. And then seven real soldiers appeared in the village. However, they were called quite fabulously: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The action takes place in the late 1940s. A large-scale land-surveying research is underway in a remote area of Eastern Siberia. The work had almost been concluded when a wire arrives with the news of people disappearing in the locality of Yambuy. The expedition’s chief and radioman decide to go in search of the lost ones. The local Evenk hunters come to their aid. Many dangerous adventures lie in store for these daring people before they find the culprit – a man-eating bear.
