Maurice, a condemned Englishman, befriends a Russian convict girl Lola Melikoff who covertly aids his planned escape. She reveals a cave hideout and bribes potential allies, while the stern Colonel Melikoff pursues harsh punishment. Maurice and ally Platoff prepare a daring exit with a forged escape plan and tools hidden in a hidden kit.
A snowy Kam mining scene unfolds with convicts at work, Phil and Dmatai driving picks into clay and gravel while Maurice and others wheel stiffened clods. Waterfall overseers warm themselves, as gol divza roam in the mist and the tea gas hums beneath a harsh wind.
In a tense scene the prisoner quietly hides a heavy object under his shirt while being escorted. He feels fear as he returns to the prison with the others and awaits what may come after evening checks. The narrative hints at an upcoming attempt or consequence tied to the concealed item.
