During an October ball, gymnasium pupils and officers mock Kuzma Zakharkin, the cook’s son, for his love of Lena, the manufacturer’s daughter. A sudden cannon volley interrupts the festivities and marks the beginning of the Moscow workers’ armed uprising. The conflict centers on the capitalist Leontyev and the worker Zakharkin, whose sons become the organizers and participants of the revolt.
