The Three Million Trial (Russian: Процесс о трех миллионах) is a 1926 Soviet silent comedy film starring Igor Ilyinsky and directed by Yakov Protazanov based on the play The Three Thieves (Italian: I tre ladri) by Umberto Notari.
Banker Ornano (Mikhail Klimov) sells his house for three million rubles, but since it's the weekend, he cannot deposit the money in the bank and must carry it with him.
The note falls into the hands of Cascarilla (Anatoly Ktorov), a suave thief and adventurer, who quickly devises a plan to steal the money.
At the same time, Tapioca (Igor Ilyinsky), a small-time burglar, breaks into the house on the same night, unknowingly complicating Cascarilla's scheme.
Amid the confusion, Cascarilla quietly helps Tapioca escape, giving him a share of the stolen money before parting ways.
