Programme Note
Synopsis:
Ikharev, a card shark, sets his sights on defrauding three hotel guests. He soon realises, however, that they are all brothers under the skin; the four decide to go after the other guests, namely, Mikhail Alexandrovich Glov. He leaves, so that his son Sasha remains and loses a fortune. The three other swindlers leave Ikharev to collect the loot, but in the end he finds that Glov and a finance official were both part of the trio and that Glov lost on purpose, leaving Ikharev the big loser.
