Based on Chekhov's story of the same name.
During a meeting between the chorus girl Pasha and her lover, Kolpakov, his wife suddenly appears. She doesn't notice her husband in the apartment (he is in another room at the time) and demands the return of the jewelry that Pasha's lover allegedly gave her. Having taken them, the woman leaves. Kolpakov himself accuses Pasha of "insulting" his wife...
