The film was released in the United States as The Czar Wants to Sleep.

One afternoon, while the Czar is taking his beauty nap, two lust-filled persons of the court, a horny clerk and an equally randy Princess sneak for their regular rendezvous, which involves making cat sounds and pinching. A cry from the lady awakens the Czar, who is bloody pissed and wants to know who the culprit is. The court is in High Fear until a Colonel comes up with the brilliant idea of blaming the disturbance on a non-existent lieutenant, a Lieutenant Kizhe, who is promptly ordered to be whipped and marched to Siberia.
