The head of the Portov city police, Colonel Avdeev, fights crime with the most severe and decisive methods. And with this he very hinders the lawyer Medushevsky, striving to become the shadow owner of the city. After another successful operation, Avdeeva Medushevsky decides to get rid of the colonel. A gang of thugs in harlequin costumes attack a police motorcade and kill everyone except Avdeev himself, who miraculously manages to survive. At this time, Avdeev’s girlfriend, journalist of the local television channel Anna Loginova, witnesses a suspicious meeting between Medushevsky and mayor of Portovy Bachurin and vice-governor of the region Mitrokhin.
