Plot – During June 1905, Potemkin Russian battleship's crew is harassed very badly. Onboard the sailors are given rotten food to eat and the captain refuses to listen to their protests, so they decide to mutiny. The battleship then reaches Odessa, where the inhabitants share the sailors' situation and encourage them, but the imperial guards repress their enthusiasm in a bloody battle. Meanwhile a Russian navy squad sails to the city to restore the situation and the battle seems inevitable. Potemkin sailors seem to be defeated, but in the end the navy lets them go.
