What happens in The New Adventures of the Elusive Avengers from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Set after their earlier escapades, the Elusive Avengers—a tight-knit group of young Red partisans—include Valerka [Mikhail Metyolkin], a former schoolboy; Yashka [Vasili Vasilyev], a devil-may-care gypsy; and two orphan siblings, Danka [Viktor Kosykh] and Ksanka [Valentina Kurdyukova]. They join the Red Army to press the fight against Baron Wrangel’s White Guards, and their latest mission hinges on a crucial document: a plane carries a letter that reveals a map of Crimean fortifications, now in the hands of the White counter-intelligence officer, Colonel Kudasov [Arkadi Tolbuzin]. That map is vital for the Red Army’s assault, so the Avengers are sent on a secret mission to steal it.
