A group of boys decides to select a boss from among themselves. Then the boss becomes the group’s dictator.
Five boys from a small village lose their football field and swimming pool to the Tigers, a gang of boys from another village who occupy the territory by force. The five decide to choose a boss to run their group, face the Tigers and fight for their rights. After selecting Hasso to be their boss, the group becomes stronger and tighter. They fight the Tigers and get back their field and swimming pool. Hasso, however, is spoiled by the authority he holds, and becomes the group’s dictator. Over time, he begins to mistreat his comrades, so that eventually the group collapses and returns to its former weak state.
