An elderly noblewoman and landowner comes to St Petersburg to recover fifteen thousand roubles that she lent to a fashionable society dandy against the security of her only estate.
Пожилая дворянка-помещица приезжает в Петербург, чтобы вернуть 15 тысяч рублей, которые она одолжила великосветскому франту под залог своего единственного имения.
Without the money, the old woman and her family face complete destitution and the prospect of freezing on the streets.
Без этих денег старушке и её близким грозит полная нищета и холод на улице.
Although the court rules in her favor, the police and bailiffs refuse to help: the debtor has influential connections, and by law the demand for payment can be served only into his own hands, something the high-ranking dandy carefully avoids.
Несмотря на то что суд выносит решение в её пользу, полиция и судебные приставы отказываются помогать должник имеет влиятельные связи, а по закону бумагу с требованием уплаты можно вручить только лично в руки, чего высокопоставленный франт всячески избегает.
Confronted with an impenetrable wall of bureaucracy and official indifference, the helpless woman happens to meet a mysterious man who calls himself a 'genius' at resolving hopeless cases.
Столкнувшись с глухой стеной бюрократизма и чиновничьего равнодушия, беспомощная женщина случайно знакомится с таинственным человеком, который называет себя гением по разрешению безнадёжных дел.
For a modest fee, he devises an ingenious and audacious scheme.
За скромную плату он придумывает оригинальный и дерзкий авантюрный план.
The 'Serbian fighter' he hires deliberately provokes the nobleman into a public brawl at the railway station, right before his departure abroad.
Нанятый им сербский сражатель умышленно провоциру
