The story describes that Alestakov, a dude, lost all his money in a bet and was at a loss. He passed through a city in other provinces from Petersburg and was mistaken for an "imperial envoy". The mayor immediately held a grand welcome party for him and kept bribing the young man to pave the way for his promotion and wealth. However, Hurley Starkovs turned mistakes into mistakes, publicly displayed his "delicious", "fun" and "gambling skills", and tried to fabricate various reasons to defraud people from all walks of life and unscrupulously searched their money. Even seduce the mayor's wife and daughter aboveboard. Later, Helie Starkovs fled in a hurry for fear that the scam would be exposed.

The mayor's residence was in the most exciting time when the postmaster came in with a letter in his hand. This letter was written by the young man to a friend in Petersburg, in which he laughed at those fools who mistakenly thought they were imperial envoys. When the mayor and officials were speechless about this matter, the real imperial envoy came. When everyone froze, the curtain fell.

Nikolai Nikolai Gogol showed the ugly prototype of social dignitaries at that time with the mirror of comedy, thus exposing the dark, decadent and absurd reaction of serfdom Russian society.
