This picture of Alisher Khamdamov is constructed as a legend of Bakhshi, who pulls his endless song about the brave defender of all the disadvantaged Namaz, thereby brightening up the halt of Russian officers who are serving a dull service in the Turkestan region.

The film takes place in 1927 in Uzbekistan. A group of Central Investigation officers has been sent from Moscow to Tashkent to assist the local police in the fight against banditry. At the same time, they participate in the fight against the remnants of the Basmachi and the White Guard underground.
