Spoilers ahead
** The mayor and the other officials routinely take bribes, embezzle public money, drink, and play cards, while they idle away time gossiping about the latest “news” of the town. Then an alarming disruption arrives: a stern government inspector from St. Petersburg has been sent to the city, and even worse, a plain-clothed one has appeared. Right as the privy council is convened—a move the city rulers hastily orchestrate—the news breaks that Khlestakov is staying at a hotel, a young man who isn’t paying his bills and behaves with suspicious swagger. Ivan Aleksandrovich Khlestakov is thus introduced, and the officials begin to chatter about whether he is the very auditor from the capital in disguise.
