Plot
[edit]In May 1979, Moscow Criminal Investigation Department officers—Colonel Alexei Pavlovich Sadchikov, Major Vladislav Nikolaevich Kostenko, and Senior Lieutenant Valentin Roslyakov—investigate a series of daring robberies carried out by a gang of criminals wearing dark sunglasses.
With the help of a teenager, Lyonka, who accidentally became acquainted with the gang and was drawn into a failed robbery attempt on a savings bank, the police manage to arrest two gang members known as "Chita" and "Sudar." Forensic experts identify the fingerprints on a pistol as belonging to one of the robbers, and the detained suspects let slip information about "Prokhor," the gang leader.
The investigation leads the detectives to a quiet village near Moscow, where they discover that an unassuming old man is, in fact, Prokhor, the gang’s leader. In a shootout, Prokhor critically wounds Roslyakov, but doctors manage to save him. Major Kostenko then apprehends the fleeing Prokhor and presents him with the irrefutable evidence collected in the investigation.
