Synopsis
In 19th-century Russia an impoverished clerk lapses with increasing frequency into periods of paranoiac melancholia. Depressed by his lowly station in life and his frustrated love for the beautiful Sofi, his office director's daughter, he retreats from the world and seeks companionship only with his small wooden puppet. But even this in time depresses him, and he hurls the puppet into his stove. As the disintegration of his mind progresses, he becomes convinced that Sofi's dog will talk to him and reveal the secrets of its mistress' life. In a fit of dementia he constructs letters he imagines the dog has written. Eventually, when he learns that Sofi has married an Army officer, the clerk loses all touch with reality and believes himself to be Ferdinand VIII, the fugitive king of Spain. Through the intervention of his landlady and his office co-workers, the clerk is declared insane and committed to an asylum. The ill treatment he receives there only increases his paronoiac belief that he is a man against the world.
