The film opens with Morry attending the funeral of his old friend Fender, a clerk at clothing manufacturer Ranting and Company. Morry is carrying a nice overcoat, which he throws down into the grave. Back home in his shabby basement room, Morry muses about how much Fender wanted a new "bespoke" (custom-made) overcoat. Much to Morry's surprise, the ghost of Fender suddenly materializes in his room. A series of flashbacks then tell the story of Fender's attempt to obtain a new overcoat to replace his raggedy old one.An adaptation of a play, which was an adaptation of a short story by Nikolai Gogol.

Bad Boss: Ranting is pretty much an ass. He hassles Fender about eating at work. He won't give Fender, an employee for 43 years, a deal on a coat. And then he fires Fender for being old, leaving Fender penniless and indirectly causing his death as Fender can't buy a coat.

Acid Reflux Nightmare: When the ghost of Fender first appears in Morry's room, Morry briefly thinks Fender is a hallucination caused by "that bad brandy".

Alter Kocker: A sad example as Fender is desperately poor, but he's still got the snark of an elderly Alter Kocker. Morry would qualify as well but he isn't quite old enough.

Downer Beginning: Attending the sad and lonely funeral of your best friend surely qualifies.
