在这部节日盛宴剧情/战争片中,1943年圣诞节，两名美国飞行员因为轰炸机被击落，于是来到了一个塞尔维亚村庄。他们受到了当地切特尼克（南斯拉夫祖国军，一个抵抗德军的游击队）的欢迎。一名游击队少校带着德军追捕美国飞行员的消息来到村庄。他提议接走美国飞行员，但游击队拒绝了，因而挑起了血腥冲突，导致少校丧生。游击队害怕德军袭击，于是解除了飞行员的武装并拘捕他们，但飞行员成功逃脱了。惊慌失措的游击队决定杀死少校的两名随从，将他们的尸体伪装成美国飞行员交给德军。然而事情终会败露，而残酷的游击队领导也将无法安抚愤怒的民众。
In a Serbian village on Christmas Day in 1943, the Chetniks accept two downed American pilots and give them hospitality. However, finding out that the Germans are looking for pilots, the Chetniks change attitude towards them, disarming and shutting them off, but the pilots were able to escape. Palming off the corpses of two other killed prisoners to the Germans, who have since captured the real pilots, the Chetniks make local people enraged, despite their captain's attempts to cover up this wrongdoing, done on a public holiday.
