The film begins in Belgrade in 1944 and follows two likeable crooks, manipulative Marko and loveable Blacky, as they are forced to take shelter when the Nazi's bombs begin to fall on their city. Years later, when the war finally ends, Marko, who has now risen up the ranks of the country's communist country, manages to trick the sheltering townsfolk into believing that the fighting above them is still going on while they make more weapons for him to sell.
