Its heroine, Raina Petkoff, is a young Bulgarian woman engaged to Sergius Saranoff, a battlefield hero whom she idolizes. On the night after the Battle of Slivnitza , Captain Bluntschli, a Swiss mercenary in the defeated Serbian army, climbs in through her bedroom balcony and threatens her not to give the alarm.
Despite sympathizing with the "enemy," Raina hides Bluntschli from Bulgarian soldiers and later allows him to stay in their house.

Raina's father, Major Petkoff, however, prefers civilian life and is indifferent to Sergius's military bravado.
