Plot
Having received an injury during the exercises, the sailor Chizhik is sent by the orderly to the house of Captain Luzgin. Wife of the captain of a young beautiful woman is very cruel to the orderly, constantly humiliating him, counting a servant. The only joy in the life of the sailor is communication with the little sadchuk Shura, a kind, fair and sensitive boy.
Once, unable to withstand the insults of the mistress, the orderly decides to flee. It is stopped only by an unforeseen circumstance: the heaviest inflammation of the lungs in a child. A vigilant nurse, not for a moment leaving Shura, sits Chizhik at his bed, literally fighting with death.
