Synopsis:
The Permanent Clerk of the Ninth Rank, Akakiy Akakievich, owns an old coat
that no longer protects him from the cold, and his colleagues eventually tear it.
Because of this, Akakievich has a magnificent new coat made for himself at a
high price. After a celebration party was held in honor of the new coat,
however, it was stolen. Despite all his efforts to recover it, he fails. Deeply
affected, he dies from heartbreak. But he returns as a ghost to take his
revenge.
