Foreman Balla is the self-proclaimed king of a massive construction site. His co-workers stick close to him, like musketeers, as long as he makes sure they are paid. But things stop running smoothly when materials get scarce and two newcomers arrive on the site: Kati, a young engineer, and Werner Horrath, the new Party Secretary. Balla’s swaggering, reminiscent of Hollywood gunslingers, melts away as he realizes he is in love with Kati.
Kati is able to see Balla's true nature and he falls in love with her. But Horrath loves the young engineer as well, despite being devoted to his wife and children in Rostock. A love triangle ensues. Things get complicated when Kati gets pregnant, which threatens the accomplishments that the brigade has achieved at the construction site. She faces an uneasy decision: to protect the identity of her child's father or to lose face in front of co-workers and party members.
