Romashov, an officer, receives an invitation from Nicolayeff, whose wife's birthday is coming up. At the birthday party, it turns out that his wife is very charmed by Romashov. During the picnic in the forest, they seclude themselves from the rest of the party and on a bench they kiss each other. Another, jealous officer, who also has a crush on her, sneaks up on the couple. Sensing this, they flee, but the woman leaves behind her fan, on which Romashov has written a declaration of love. The jealous officer gives the fan to Nicolayeff, who then challenges Romashov to a duel. During the duel, the lover deliberately fires into the air and is shot. Based on the novel by Aleksandr Ivanovich Kuprin.
