At a Shanghai apartment, Mr Hou, a Nationalist official, gets ready to move to Taiwan upon the imminent defeat of the KMT during the Civil War. Mrs Hou gives an ultimatum to the rest of the tenants to move out on behalf of her husband, who is the "owner" of the flat and who is now planning to sell it. From the conversations with the rest, we find out that Hou has been a Hanjian during the Sino-Japanese War and that he has since taken over the apartment by force from the old landlord, Mr Kong. The tenants, including Mr Kong, Mrs Xiao, Little Broadcast (alias Mr Xiao, played by Zhao Dan) and a schoolteacher, Mr Hua, and his wife, initially plan to band together, but circumstances force them to find other ways out. Mr Hua tries to find a place to stay at the KMT-sponsored school he is teaching in. Little Broadcast and Mrs Xiao invest in black market gold. As the situation escalates, Mr Hua gets arrested by KMT agents and his young daughter falls desperately ill.

Фильм рассказывает о жизни и работе китайских учёных-бактериологов. В основе фильма лежит тема глубоких психологических изменений в характере человека, которому под влиянием многих факторов самой жизни и ситуаций приходится менять свою точку зрения на окружающий мир и науку. Один из героев, профессор Хуан, дан в развитии, в становлении. Его характер получился выпуклым, запоминающимся. Если в начале фильма молодые учёные казались Хуану недостаточно серьёзными, все их стремления войти в науку расценивались им как факт непонимания сложности науки и своей ответственности, то в конце фильма Хуан уже видит в лице молодых аспирантов смелость, дерзновение, стремление добиться от науки активного вторжения в жизнь. В фильме большую эмоциональную роль играет тема дружбы, взаимоуважения людей науки, объединённых одной целью — служению народу.
