In the Soviet Union in 1927, Ippolit Matveyevich Vorobyaninov, an impoverished aristocrat from Imperial Russia now working as a local village bureaucrat, is summoned to his mother-in-law's deathbed.
Vorobyaninov returns to his old home and discovers Father Fyodor attempting to steal the remaining chair.
Meanwhile, Vorobyaninov and Bender find the eleven remaining chairs in a museum in Moscow, just as seven are taken away to be sold.
