Plot

The burgess Zhigalov family who have a marriageable daughter Dasha, learn to their horror that the official Aplombov (Erast Garin) who dined with them every day and established himself as a groom, is not going to marry her at all. With great difficulty Dasha's father manages to persuade the ambitious groom to propose. The groom agrees, putting the condition of compulsory attendance of the General at the wedding.

At last the wedding takes place. At a festive moment the chief guest arrives—the General. A scandal erupts at the peak of merriment when it became clear that the General is not really a General, but only a captain of the second rank (lieutenant colonel). The wedding is ruined.
