The film evokes count Pongrácz, who, as late as the 19th century, managed to live a life, which reminds one of his medieval ancestor's values. He acts in defiance of the town by fighting his own battle against it, having been offended by the town. A hostage, Apolka, who is an orphan, received "in return for peace", brings life among the grim walls of the castle, changing the count himself, who, falling in love with her, wants her to become an heiress. Finally, Milán, Apolka's love sneaks into the castle and rescues the girl. Pongrácz poisons himself. He and his horse are buried together, along with the past they were the representatives of.
