Anatoly Papanov in the image of Ippolit Matveevich Vorobyaninov, clerk of the registry office, leading a quiet life.

This piece of furniture belongs to the former master suite of the master Gams. There are twelve chairs in total. Ippolit Matveyevich decides to find the treasure.
Here the character intervenes in the story, played by Rolan Bykov - father Fedor.

And it is not known how this story would end if Ippolit Matveyevich had not met the adventurer Ostap Bender, who agreed to help for 40% of the cost of diamonds.
Heroes become owners of the warrant for "Sparrow Chairs". They chase furniture around the country. In Vladikavkaz, companions stumble upon Fedor’s completely impoverished father. He spent all the money on fake Sparrow Chairs. Running away from the heroes, the priest rises to the rock. Ten days can not go down from her.
Soon, firefighters return him to the ground and send him to a mental hospital. Vorobyaninov and Ostap manage to get into the Columbus Theater. There they open 11 chairs. Finding no treasures, the heroes return to Moscow. Ostap manages to find the last chair. The hero informs Ippolit Matveyevich about this before going to bed.
Both understand that it is in this piece of furniture that the treasure is located. Kitty decides to take possession of him, killing the sleeping Ostap with a dangerous razor. However, he failed to get the treasure. The Railwayman Club watchman accidentally discovered a treasure in a chair. Comrade Krasilnikov built a new institution with this money.
