Summary
Villagers outraged by the brutality and incompetence of the Chinese army form a militia to resist the Japanese and the Kuomintang. Drama, centred upon the life of a young peasant woman who breaks free from her corrupt, abusive husband with the help of the Chinese Communist Party. When units of the brutal Chinese army fail to defend an impoverished village against the Japanese army, and a local militia arranged by the village landlord fail to defend the villagers from looting, the villagers form a militia, led by the local blacksmith - a member of the Communist Party. With the support of Communist forces, the village militia fight back against the Japanese and the Kuomintang, who are presented as collaborating with the Japanese occupiers.
