Plot synopsis
After serving a year in prison for hooliganism, Andrei Kovalenko returns to the shipyard and begins an honest working life. But his biography becomes a bait for the thief and recidivist Grenia, who has been operating in these parts for many years. Soon, friends and girlfriend Zoya find out that he is detained by the police and is suspected of stealing. However, they are absolutely sure of his innocence. Investigator Braitsev's sympathies are also on his side, but formal evidence does not allow Andrei to be released. Step by step, the investigator manages to unravel the threads of the crime leading to the leader of the gang of thieves Grenyu and make sure of the complete innocence of Andrei.
