Twin brothers Géza and Bandi take different paths after growing up within the large Hungarian Gyurkovics family. While Bandi remains on the family estate, the film follows Géza, more impulsive, in his journey as an officer cadet. Géza behaves disrespectfully in the garrison town, clashes with his superiors and falls in love with Jutka, the colonel's daughter. During a stay at a spa town, he finds himself embroiled in an intrigue with a woman unhappily married to a baron, who attempts to trigger a divorce by running away with him.
