In this costume drama, a 17th-century Polish colonel falls in love with a princess. Unfortunately the girl is already engaged to a Ukraine commander. The colonel does his best to convince her to break it off and take off with him. The commander gets even by burning down the count's palace and massacring all the residents. He then kidnaps the princess and designs an attack on the colonel's unit. The Poles do not run, and the count is killed thus freeing the lovers to reunite. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
