Synopsis
Oktyabrina, a female Komsomol member and a building superintendent evict a "Nepman" to the roof of the building for persistent non-payment of the rent. There the Nepman opens a bottle of beer, from which a "Coolidge Curzon Poincar" emerges. The name is concocted to be an epitome of evil, made from the names of the anti-Soviet politicians of the time, routinely bashed in the Soviet press. Together the Nepman and the genie plot to rob Gosbank, but are deterred by Oktyabrina with the help of fellow Komsomol members and engineering marvels of the time.
