Plot

The plot takes place in 1925. One of Chicago mobsters Mik Nich (born as Mikita Nichiporuk) flees to Soviet Odesa to escape the revenge of other mobsters. Mob leaders send the best hit-man Johnny Polak to Odesa. The killer disguises himself as an American entomology professor who wants to visit the grave of his father in Odesa.

In search of his victim, Polak gets into the most unbelievable situations arising from the peculiarities of the city of Odesa, as well as from mad historical era. Being the first passenger of the ship voyage New York City-Odesa, he is assigned to be accompanied by the Komsomol guide Glushko and is besieged by pioneers and journalists. Jumping from the train and hitting his head, Polak forgets what he is actually doing there (retrograde amnesia), and tries to live up to his cover as an honest professor. Nichiporuk, in turn, learns about the arrival of the killer and is trying to kill him. Polak experiences several periods of regain and loss of memory (a periodical Déjà vu) while trying to track down Nichiporuk. Finally, Nichiporuk is arrested by Soviet authorities on an unrelated charge and sent to jail. Polak, having lost the rest of his sanity, ends up in a mental hospital.
