[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The movie plot evolves around Yuri Detochkin, a humble insurance agent, who steals cars from crooks in a Robin Hood way, disappointed by the Militsiya (Russian police) being unable to fight them efficiently. He sells the cars and transfers the money to the accounts of various orphanages. Maxim Podberyoznikov investigates his crimes and tries to prosecute him, but faces a serious moral problem in doing that.
