A large group of political opponents of the fascist National Legionary State regime has been systematically massacred in their cells, including several communist activists, and Moldovan's investigation soon reveals a Legionary death squad belonging to the powerful pro-Nazi Iron Guard organisation committed the massacre, and as Moldovan continue investigating the fanatic legionnaires, as its members are called, he soon also becomes a target for assassination.
