Two boys set off from Partisan squad to the village, to spend their winter there. One of them gets ill by the way, and the other goes to a nearby German village where he manages to employ himself as a servant. At night, he nurses his comrade hidden in a swamp, and hides him in his master's stable at last. They are spending their winter there until the illegal liberation organization finally discovers them and gets them out from the village.

Dva dečaka upućena su iz partizanskog odreda u selo da prezime. Jedan se usput razboli, drugi odlazi u obližnje nemačko selo gde uspeva da se zaposli kao sluga. Noću krišom neguje druga sakrivenog u obližnjoj močvari da bi ga, najzad, sakrio u gazdinoj štali. Zimovanje traje sve dok ih ilegalna oslobodilačka organizacija ne otkrije i izvede iz sela.
