Kem and Nit, brother and sister without parents, work on an isolated farm. One day their meal is interrupted by the arrival of a ‘rebel commando’ that demands food. The leader, Cheyrith, is moved by the amiable nature of Nit and tells her about his unfaithful wife. Next morning an official is shot dead by the deputy leader of the commando, Man. Cheyrith tells Kem and Nit that their life is no longer safe and that they have to come along with him. Man is congratulated by the radio with his action and Kem gives Nit permission to marry Cheyrith. At night, Kem goes with the commando, and a real slaughter ensues. Between Kem, Cheyrith and Man life and death conflicts break out.
