To save money for a new Jersey, Katya leaves her native village to work in Leningrad. Once she is in the big city, she falls in with a bad crowd by associating with the thief Syomka Zhgut (Valery Solovtsov). The girl starts to sell Reinette apples to earn money for a living and for the aforementioned new cow. Soon after meeting Syomka, Katya becomes pregnant and gives birth to his child.
