Synopsis

The famous merchant Kuroslepov wastes his life binge drinking. The home is run by his wife Matrona, an overbearing and immoral woman who spends her husband's money, has an affair with the bailiff and strongly oppresses Parasha, Kuroslepov's daughter from his first marriage. The plot develops around the loss of a large sum of money. Parasha's groom Vasya gets accused of stealing and is threatened with being sent to serve in the army. The unfortunate young woman desperately prays for her man. The cowardly and prudent Vasya agrees to become a clown of the merchant Khlynov, who buys him off from conscription. Realizing the nullity of her beloved, Parasha finds happiness with a clerk Gavrila who is infatuated with her.
