Film begins showing an army truck filled with Viet Minh soldiers driving on a street in Hanoi, Indochina (Vietnam), during the Battle of Hanoi in December 1946 (early in First Indochina War). Next, French soldiers wearing berets are seen in defensive positions at a port. Bursting bombs from Viet Minh attack raise black smoke in the background as civilians run away from the area, and Viet Minh troops rush forward taking up positions in Hanoi. Views of civilians hunkering down behind trees, under cars, and other means of protection, while plumes of black smoke rise in the near background. More scenes of civilian refugees fleeing. A man carrying two young children runs by a building with sign "Chi-Thành" (denoting the Duong Chi Thanh street area and neighborhood of Hanoi). A fire raging in the background. Viet Minh troops in defensive positions behind a wall. Activity along a tree-lined avenue. A police van with French and Vietnamese identification driving along a road with a Red Cross flag flying above it. Injured youth lying on a sidewalk with another teenage boy beside him. A nurse in white attire, directing men carrying a wounded person on a litter. Jeep in background with text sign "Trung Liet" on its hood (denoting the Hanoi neighborhood of Trung Liệt). A makeshift outdoor first aid station. Smoke from fires obscuring part of the scene.
