An energetic and purposeful rural guy, Timuchin, who is fond of kung fu and films with Jackie Chan, comes to Almaty to apply to the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and study to become a police officer. He temporarily stays in the apartment of his uncle, whom he helps sell in a vegetable shop. His fighting skills allow him to easily put several presumptuous petty criminals in their place and win the love of Alua, the beautiful daughter of a police colonel.
