This film, set at the beginning of the 17th century, is the first East-European "Eastern". Bocskai István orders the free Heyducks to shepherd a huge herd of cattle through the country torn to three parts, to the Dalmatian coast, where he can get weapons in exchange, for fighting the Austrians. They bump into robbers on the puszta and Turks take their tithe of the herd. The Heyducks take an Austrian lieutenant hostage, but finally a larger Austrian troop forces them to flee. They lead the herd into the moor and only a young Heyduck and the preacher, Szappanos survive. (official distributor synopsis)
