On the struggle against the kulaks who were trying to infiltrate the collective farms. In the Georgian village of Tsatskhovani, Gigashvili, a former merchant and kulak, managed to worm his way into the leadership of the agricultural co-operative. Under various pretexts, he drives the most productive peasants out of the collective farm. Gigashvili puts one of his own men in charge of the first ‘Holt’ tractor, which the collective farm received from the state. In the hands of the kulak, the tractor becomes a tool for the exploitation of the peasantry. Gigashvili charges the poor a high fee for the use of the machine.
