Ivan Aksionov is a prosperous merchant who's put behind him a life of drunkenness and debauchery to settle down as a businessman and a loving husband. One summer, he's about to head off to Nizhny Fair, where he hopes to sell all his goods. Just before he sets out on his journey, his wife urges him not to go. She tells him about a terrible dream she had the night before in which Ivan removes his cap to reveal a head of gray hair. Ivan laughs off the dream, telling his wife that it's actually a good sign as it means that he'll sell all his goods and bring her back some presents from the fair.
On the way to the fair, Ivan meets up with a fellow merchant and they spend the night at a local inn. When Ivan wakes early the next morning, he settles his bill with the landlord and continues with his journey. After traveling for another 25 miles, Ivan stops off at another inn, where he rests and drinks tea, cheerfully strumming on a guitar while his horses are being fed and watered.
The happy scene is disrupted when a law enforcement official suddenly pulls up in his troika—a kind of carriage or sled—with a couple of soldiers in tow. The official starts giving Ivan the third degree about his whereabouts the previous night. The official, the district police officer, tells Ivan that the merchant with whom he'd been staying at the inn has been brutally murdered, his throat cut with a knife. The policeman and the two soldiers carry out a search of Ivan's belongings and find a blood-stained knife in his bag. A shell-shocked Ivan doesn't know how it got there and protests his innocence of any crime. But the policeman's having none of it. He's convinced himself that Ivan is guilty as sin, and so he and the soldiers bind up the poor merchant, fling him into a cart, and take him away.
