Natasia, the charming owner of the inn, has made herself an enemy in rejecting the devious Mamyrov, the right-hand man of the local governor Nikita Danilovich Kurliatev. He spreads the gossip that Natasia is an enchantress, and every man whom she meets falls for her. Yuri, Nikita's son, beings to frequent the inn, as does his father, who falls madly in love with Natasha (without any success), who threatens her that he will reach is goal by whatever means. Mamyrov confronts Nikita's wife, Evpraksia, with the truth, while her son, not yet personally involved with Nastasia, swears to avenge his mother. While confronting Natasia he learns that it is he whom she loves. They both plan to flee durng the night, now knowing that, by now, Mamyrov has worked out an elaborate plot to wreak his revenge on Natasia as well as on Nikita and his family, with devastating effect.
