Kozyrev visits the house of Mrs. Rostokina, the widow of a general, who supplies the St. Petersburg aristocrats with kept women. The widow introduces Doctor Kozyrev to Vera Nikonova, who has a house on Vasilyevsky Island.

There, with the help of his mistress Vera Nikonova, he sets up an establishment for rich men called the House of Sleeping Beauties. However, not everything goes well in a new business. Mrs. Bagrova dreams of destroying Doctor Kozyrev and his mistress Vera Nikonova. And she does everything possible to achieve her goal.
