Two of them die of hunger and thirst and another is killed during a confrontation with a desert youth who was on his way home after doing military service. When the Soviet army is looking for the ones who were killed it comes upon a camp of nomadic herders and finds evidence they had been through that area. The nomads are accused of killing the three Russians; the Russians arrest the men and take them to prison.
