A 12-year-old boy, orphaned after his family is killed by the Nazis, joins a partisan group, who use his diminutive stature and agility for intelligence purposes. Worried about his safety, they send him to a quieter area, but the boy, hellbent on revenge for his parent's murder, insists on being given more dangerous assignments, with tragic consequences.
