Two armies live in the chess kingdom-state - white and black, ready to fight at any moment. And so, when the soldier Peshkin was sent on a secret operation - to free the chick Pyzhik from the mousetrap - the spies immediately reported this to the enemy king. Following Peshkin, a detachment of stern black figures was sent. However, no intrigues of enemies can prevent the brave soldier from completing a combat mission and saving the young Fawn. After all, kindness and courage, friendship and mutual assistance always destroy any insidious plans.
