A military scribe’s copying mistake turns the Russian phrase “the lieutenants, however” into the name “lieutenant Kizhe.” When the Tsar reads the erroneous report, he demands to meet the nonexistent officer. To avoid his wrath, the courtiers fabricate Kizhe as a royal scapegoat, setting off a comic series of deceptions.
