After a new government law forbids women to operate heavy machinery in steel factories, a group of female workers that is determined to lift the ban proposes a competition to their male counterparts: those who will produce the greatest quantity of steel will win. The men are certain that they will be victorious. One of them, Ernst Hollup, is angered by his wife's involvement with the other team, and he demands that she will resign and become a housewife. The women develop a wagon that carries the molten iron to the steel furnace and greatly simplifies their work. They win the competition, as well as the respect of the men. The government lifts the ban.

Agnes and Jochen are two young actors who meet and fall in love while appearing in a Berlin production of Nathan the Wise. After the two marry, Agnes is drawn to the communist cause, and begins acting in East German films, which her husband views as sheer propaganda, especially when she recites a poem praising Stalin. When Jochen decides to accept a role in Les Mains Sales, his wife cannot bring herself to follow him, viewing the play as seditious. They decide to divorce. Jochen becomes a celebrated star in the West, but slowly realizes that not all is well: he sees that former influential Nazis are rehabilitated. After witnessing an anti-war demonstration brutally dispersed by the police, he arrives in the divorce court and asks Agnes to reconcile with him. The two reunite and move to East Berlin.

The film begins in 1813 after the phase of the Napoleonic Wars known in German as the Befreiungskriege (War of Liberation). The opening scenes show Prussian Landwehr and volunteers marching down the streets of Breslau through enthusiastic crowds. This is followed by a dialogue between King Frederick William III of Prussia and Count August von Gneisenau, in which Gneisenau explains that the siege of Kolberg taught the importance of citizen armies. Ending with the admonition that kings who cannot lead must abdicate, the scene switches to Vienna in 1806 to show the abdication of the last Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II of Austria, whom the script has Gneisenau call "an Emperor who abandoned the German people in their hour of need".

Guerre de Sept Ans. Les soldats russes assiègent Berlin. Pour protéger la population civile, les parties belligérantes conviennent que les soldats prussiens se retirent dans la forteresse de Spandau. Les jeunes cadets restés dans Berlin sont arrêtés, contrairement à l'accord sur les prisonniers de guerre, et sont déportés vers l'est. Après une tentative d'évasion de certains cadets, le commandant russe Goroschew, un officier cosaque, décide de faire fusiller un dixième de tous les cadets. Le rittmeister prussien von Tzülow y voit le prétexte pour aller renverser les Russes. Dans une scène clé, il fredonne la Chanson de Cadets comme un signe de ralliement. Sous son commandement, les cadets se retranchent dans un fort abandonné. Un cadet est envoyé à cheval pour obtenir de l'aide des troupes prussiennes. Lorsqu'elles arrivent, l'officier von Tzülow meurt au combat. Les Russes s'en vont. Les cadets reviennent à Berlin sous les acclamations de la foule.
