Хто такий Ленін, Жанна не знала, вона чула, що це якийсь німецький агент, що його підіслали німці, щоб руйнувати революцію. Але її зворушили вояки-каліки, що так яскраво рвалися на фронт. Коли навіть солдати-каліки йдуть рятувати батьківщину, то чому б їй, Жанні, сильній здоровій жінці не піти б на фронт?!
