Tayny instituta blagorodnykh devits

August 1880. This evening no one thinks about studying. Lisa decided to escape with her lover, Lieutenant Orlov. They plan to get married secretly and then leave for Europe. Lisa feels sorry for her uncle, her boss and her friends, but she is in love and cannot resist the feeling. After Lisa leaves, the girls find a note saying that the wedding will take place in a church on the Ryazan tract. Polina is horrified - she drives along this road to the estate and knows for sure that there is no church there. It’s clear to the girls that their friend was deceived and kidnapped! Thanks to the intervention of the new head of the institute, Countess Vorontsova, and her husband, Lisa manages to save her honor, and possibly her life. But it won’t be long before Lisa understands that Orlov is not worthy of her love. Behind this story, like many others, much more terrible - from street murders to the ruin of large capitals and the loss of works of art - there is a powerful, mysterious villain who calls himself the Admiral. This is the king of the underworld. His influence is enormous, but no one knows his real name, and no one has seen his face.
