The action takes place in the early 19th century in the provincial town of Tambov. The quiet, measured life of the town is disrupted by the arrival of a cavalry regiment. The old treasurer throws a ball, where he loses his entire fortune and his beautiful wife to the young cavalryman Garin in a card game.
