Lenka’s mother, who was a widow early, lived with a boy in the village. She had a small farm, took the peasants who were going to town to trade, and lived comfortably. Suddenly, a strange man, Gordei Lukich Revyakin, appeared in the village. Nobody knew where he came from. Revyakin married Lenka’s mother and immediately took the household into his own hands, forbidding people to enter the house. After bringing his wife to death, and the boy to exhaustion, Revyakin sold all the property left by his wife, and bought a barge.

Over defenseless Lyonka Revyakin mocked as best he could, while he tried to stay away from people and communicated only with customers. In the winter, when the Volga froze, Revyakin rented a room in the city.

Somehow his neighbor was a young worker Nikolai. The worker became attached to Lyonka, taught him to read and write. He wanted to take the boy to himself, but Reviakin did not give, motivating the refusal by the fact that the documents are the guardian of Lenka. Suddenly the police came to Nicholas and, finding proclamations from him, arrested. So Lenka lost his only friend. Lenka opens Dinka his secret: before sailing the barge, he decided to escape from the hated stepfather. At first he was going to live in a cave on a cliff, and in winter to stick to fishermen.

The girl wants to bring him home and introduce her to the family, but Lyonka forbids her. The boy is afraid that Dinke, a girl from an intelligent family, will be forbidden to be friends with him, and Dinka has to lie to her mother, where she spends time. Sometimes the fishermen, using the absence of Revyakin, send Lyonka to the city to trade fish. Once Lyonka takes Dinka with him. That boldly trades, and the fish quickly sells. In the bazaar, Lyonka has a friendship with a student Stepan. In the meantime, the Arsenievs are waiting for the arrival of Oleg’s friend, sugar maker Viktor Nikolaevich, who has long been in love with Katya.

The girl loves the revolutionary Kostya. He reciprocates with her, but is too enthusiastic about the revolution. After a bit of hesitation, Katya decides to accept the offer of Viktor Nikolayevich and waits for him to arrive.

Meanwhile, Kostya organizes the escape of his friend Nikolai. One attempt has already ended in failure, in the agreed place was the police, and many were arrested. It became clear that the traitor had made his way to the organization. Suspicion fell on the unpretentious slouching man of Mercury with strange, colorless, almost white eyes. Making inquiries, Kostya found out that the second case, in which he was participating, ended in failure. Summoned to a secret meeting, Mercury did not appear and disappeared.

Now Kostya is afraid of his appearance, especially since a man came to the Arsenievs’ city apartment with questions. This time Kostya is thinking things over. Not far from the dacha Arseniev is the country house of the famous engineer Krachkovsky. The engineer himself lives abroad, and his wife and son Goga for the summer leave for a dacha near Samara. Krachkovskie – long acquaintances of the Arseniev family.

When Alexander Dmitrievich lived with his family, the Arsenievs often arranged for the local nobility “fashionable evenings,” under the guise of which meetings were held with party comrades. And now Krachkovsky frequent guests at the Arsenievs, to the displeasure of Dink and Alina. Between Mouse and Goga, friendship is fastened, they are united by a love of reading. Kostya plans to remove the house for Krachkovsky for the summer and enter into their trust. He also hopes that Nikich will make friends with the local fishermen. After the escape, he will bring Nikolai Krachkovsky to the dacha, and Nikich, taking the boat from the fishermen, will take the fugitive to the other side of the river, where Oleg will wait with the horses from the count’s stables to deliver to a safe place. Having come to the Arsenievs when Krachkovsky was staying with them, Kostya, along with Marina and Katya, played the stage: Kostya wants to rent a room to fish, but everything is already taken,

Krachkovskaya suggests Kostya to live with them in the wing, especially since Goga dreams of fishing. After putting the children to bed, adults discuss their affairs.

Dinka does not sleep, she is outraged that Kostya will live with the unloved Krachkovsky, and decides to talk with him. She comes to the door of my mother’s room and hears Alina enter. The oldest daughter considers herself old enough to take part in the conversation on a par with her mother and aunt. The unhappy mother is interrupted by Kostya and promises Alina that on the next visit he will give her an important assignment, which no one should know about. Alarmed by Katya and Marina, Kostya explains that he will instruct Alina to monitor the house, as Mercury may appear. If she sees a person like him, she will have to inform one of the adults.

It is possible that it was Mercury who came to the city apartment, because the Arsenievs gave Kostya the key to her and Kostya sometimes happens there. Interested, Dinka takes offense at her sister and decides to find out everything. Part two. During the loading of Revyakin’s barge, a quarrel occurs between him and the loaders. Revyakin orders Lyonka to help the loaders, and seeing that the boy can not cope, beats him. Dink rushes to defend a friend.

The loaders stand up for the children and take them away. Taking advantage of the moment, Lyonka escapes. At home, Dink finds Kostya. She eavesdrops on how Kostya instructs Alina to see if the white-eyed man appears near the dacha. Also, Dinka hears Katya admit to Kostya that she decided to marry Viktor Nikolaevich.

Offended Kostya accuses Katya of treachery and leaves. Having learned about this, indignant Marina gives Alina a note for Viktor Nikolaevich, in which he asks before talking to Katya about marriage, to talk with her. In the morning, Dinka talks about this Mouse, and the sisters, having met the groom on the road, inform him that Katya wants to marry him by calculation. Viktor Nikolaevich, upset, leaves without going into the house. After the departure of Viktor Nikolaevich Katya makes peace with Kostya and does not pay attention to Dink. Left alone, Lyonka earns a living as a porter in the bazaar. Money is not enough, and he often has to starve.

Having met Stepan in the city, Lyonka learns that his new friend is distributing proclamations. Lenka proposes to put the proclamations in donuts, but Stepan waved: he does not have money for bagels.

Stepan uttered that among his comrades was a traitor. To help Lyonka, Dinka goes to the cottages with a homeless organ-grinder. Thanks to her singing, the organ-grinder earns much more, but he deceives the girl and does not share her earnings with her. Alarmed home Dink says that she went for a ride on giant steps and was lost.

Goga, having learned from Kostya that Dinka had disappeared somewhere, said that he had heard a girl who resembled Dink singing in the neighboring dacha with a barrel organ. She fiercely denies everything, and Marina believes her daughter. She does not understand how Dinka could be at another’s dacha and sing there. From boredom Lenka comes to the Arsenyev’s dacha and sits under the fence, but now he is afraid that Alina, who several times a day goes into the house, will see him. Dinka tells a friend about the assignment that Kostya gave to his sister. Somehow the guests gather at the dacha, and Alina announces a literary evening, at which each of those present should read the poems. Having become interested, Lyonka sits down under a fence and suddenly notices a person with strange, colorless eyes, who also listens.

Seeing that when Kostya appeared, the stranger changed his face and went to the fence, Lyonka guessed what Alina was looking for. He runs into the house and says that near the fence is a man with white eyes. Kostya runs away, but Mercury can not be caught. Marina and Katya are surprised by the appearance of an unfamiliar boy. Not far from Arseniev lives a lonely dressmaker with a four-year-old daughter Maryka.

When leaving for work, a woman is forced to leave the girl alone at home. Maryashka is a frequent guest of the Arsenievs and a common favorite.
