Constantine Melnik, a leader of Macedonian irredentism in Bulgaria and a reigning Prince of Pirim, rebels against the Treaty of Neuilly of 1919, which forces Bulgaria to cede Macedonia. Soldiers then storm Castle Prokop, where he and his followers are residing, and take him and the inhabitants prisoner. Constantine’s steward Stephan, who was playing with the Prince’s children when the assault began, is taken prisoner, too. He represents the prince’s children as his own. Because the prince refuses to die a soldier’s death, young Lieutenant Kosta Vasilev decides to execute him and his companions. It turns out, that Prince Melnik had executed Kosta’s brother several years earlier.

Konstantin Melnik, Führer der mazedonischen Irredenta in Bulgarien und regierender Fürst von Pirim rebelliert gegen den 1919 unterzeichneten Vertrag von Neuilly, mit dem die bulgarische Regierung Mazedonien abtreten will. Soldaten stürmen daraufhin das Schloss Prokop, auf dem sich der Fürst aufhält und nehmen ihn, wie auch seine Vertrauten gefangen. Auch sein Kastellan Stephan, der zu Beginn noch mit den beiden Kindern des Fürsten gespielt hat, wird gefangen genommen. Die Kinder gibt er als seine eigenen aus. Da sich der Fürst weigert, den Soldatentod zu sterben, entscheidet der junge Leutnant Kosta Wasileff, ihn mitsamt seiner Mitstreiter hinzurichten.
