The film follows The Cat as he is taken in as a stray by a native Odavli family, where he befriends the family's last surviving child, a young girl, and helps the family escape the clutches of the Gospelists who intend, through several acts of abuse, on forcing them to renounce their native names and the last remnants of their culture.

Plot
The film opens with a P&K passenger train entering the boom town of Korskulle, upon which The Cat was hitching a ride, posing as a "train cat," or a cat often put aboard trains to deter rodents. Upon discovery by a conductor, who attempted to attack the cat with an oar, a chase ensues, damaging cargo as the duo race up and down the train cars. Eventually, in a crowded diner car, the Cat is caught, only for passengers to demand he be let go. The Conductor begrudgingly complies, and the Cat escapes to an alleyway.
As day turns to night in Korskulle, The Cat finds the Conductor yet again, this time jobless and inebriated. The Conductor, initially hostile to the cat, instead breaks down and cries, lamenting his dead-end job "ferrying people to their deaths," before slipping out of consciousness. Curious, The Cat checks the Conductor's pockets to find a shipping manifest, in which 90 humans were scheduled to ship from cattle cars, labeled as "KONTRABANDEN." The Cat does not understand this and continues to the depot, where another train is waiting. The Cat decides to check the cattle cars to see if humans were in them, having to brave a number of obstacles, posing danger to the cat's small stature, as well as eluding guards and a particularly mean looking bulldog.
The Cat, after slipping through a knot hole in the car door, emerge to find a grisly scene, with the traincar full of starving and dehydrated Odavli prisoners, all in fetters. Shocked by this, he attempts to leave, only for the train to jerk into motion again, knocking him off his paws and knocking him unconscious. Hours later he wakes up in the arms of Tila, an Odavli girl, who had been tending to him. Surprised, The Cat jumps out of her hands and hisses, and attempts to flee again, only to find the train moving too fast to escape. After resigning to his fate, the cat sits and mopes, which prompts Tila trying to pet him. Eventually, after several attempts, he relents and allows her to pet him. The train rides on for the rest of the day, night, and into the next day, where the Cat can't help but to find the tired songs sung by the Odavli to be "strange, but beautiful. Like coyote howls."
After traveling for over 24 hours, the train stops at Läger Halsing, giving the cat enough time to escape into the desert bushland, but not before taking in his surroundings. Tents put up for miles surrounding a pitiful gorge and an equally pitiful creek, surrounded by short stone walls and guards, Halsing proved imposing and confusing all the same to the cat, who couldn't imagine wanting to live there. For a time, the focus shifts to Tila and her family, which consists of her mother, her father, and her grandfather, who is blind and relies on Tila for support and sight. Her grandfather cannot speak Geatish, so Tila has to use Odavli to communicate with him. This enrages guards and the Gospelist minister who runs the boarding school on the camp grounds, and they are forcibly separated, both of them beaten.
