A film miniature set to classical music. A Turkish military band marches to the rhythm of a musical rondo. First, the janissaries march, playing their pipes, followed by the cavalry, majestically accompanying the infantry with trumpets. Next, the drummers beat out the rhythm on their drums. The ornate plumes on the horses' heads sway to the rhythm of the music. A woman watches the procession. The commander leading the procession sends her greetings. The excited woman runs to another window to watch the orchestra for a longer time. In the square outside the house, soldiers perform a saber dance.
