- DirectorSergey NikonenkoStarsSergey NikonenkoEkaterina VoroninaGalina PolskikhNikolai Nikolaevich, in the film "Yolki-sticks! ..." - a simple mechanic from a modest provincial town who is engaged in the repair of televisions. But with such a monotonous work, his imagination simply pours out brilliant ideas. Now he invents a perpetual motion machine, then he is going to save the entire planet from a terrible disease, a cure for which no one has been able to find for hundreds of years, then he will come up with something else. And after all, with all this, he annoys not only those around him, but also UNESCO, academies and a number of other important organizations. In general, the real Kulibin is a self-taught inventor, a talented and resourceful engineer, a hermit and an enthusiast who will always find something to do with his hands and head. But one day an even more insane idea is born in his imagination - he is going to give up everything and go into politics in order to make a career of a prominent statesman. But the trouble is, somehow in the political field he did not work out from the very first days. After all, it was only in his dreams that Nikolai Nikolayevich could afford to hover in empirical conclusions, look down on everyone around him who is allowed to step on the same ground with him. He takes all of them for simple and unworthy commoners, who are not given to know the whole truth of real life. Against this background, the idea of a stunning and fast-paced career of a popular politician no longer seems to the protagonist as something fantastic.He is sure that he will easily pick up the key to the hearts of millions and be able to become at least a deputy, and maybe even more. Perhaps he would have been shocked to learn that most of his neighbors perceive him as nothing more than a city madman.65 votes

Straightway the young men and bachelors of the camp fall desperately in love with Salomy Jane. Her preference at first is for Rufe. Almost simultaneously with Clay's arrival the "Man" comes to Hangtown via the overland stage coach. He finds his way to the town bar and there recognizes Baldwin, who before coming west, had betrayed the "Man's" sister. The "Man" following comes upon him just in time to save Salomy from his insult. They grapple, but Baldwin breaks away and runs through the woods to his cabin where he begins packing with intent of leaving the community. Meantime Salomy. outraged at the insults of Baldwin, offers to marry Rufe on condition he kills him. Rufe demurs, but, passing Baldwin's cabin a short while afterward, hears noise of a fight inside and looking through the window sees the "Man" kill Baldwin. Remembering Salomy's promise, Rufe tells her that the crime is his, whereupon they become engaged. While this has been happening. Red Pete Heath, a worthless inhabitant of Hangtown, and a partner hold up the stage, wounding Yuba Bill, the driver. This crime, together with the murder of Baldwin, occasions a meeting of the vigilantes, who begin to scour the countryside for the offenders. At the same time these guardians of the law are given another source of worry. A letter from a kinsman has advised Larabee that there is a blood feud between his and Clay's family. The two antagonists meet and each declare that he will kill the other. In the midst of this excitement Salomy meets the "Man" on the road. She thinks at first that he may be one of the robbers. He however disabuses her in this respect, but admits that it was he who killed Baldwin. She brings the "Man" provisions and bids him good-bye with obvious reluctance. Then, acquainted with Rufe's deceit, she breaks her engagement with him. With the booty taken by Red Pete from the stage was a bracelet which falls into the hands of his little girl. She in turn gives it to Salomy. Yuba Bill sees it, recognizes it; thus the responsibility of the hold-up is fixed.
