The adventurous history film conjures up the way of life in the castles on the country border in the late 16th century. Dani is only six years old when agha Akibar and his troop kill his father and force his mother to go with them. He engraves the face of the Turk into a spearhead and swears that he will take revenge. This is how he gets his name. The orphan is brought up by a judge. He is a young man already when he overhears how his foster father enters into a secret pact with the Turks. Dani recruits a small troop. He captures the border castle on the Kokas Hill with a trick, and in a bloody duel he kills Akibar. (official distributor synopsis)
