Akaky is a little man with little recognition. He works hard for little money and no praise. His co-workers make fun of him and don't really pay any positive attention to him until he buys his overcoat. Akaky had to sacrifice and save for months and months to pay for that overcoat. As soon as he walked into work with the new coat on he was suddenly the center of attention. He had never gotten so much attention. His co-workers talked their supervisor into having a little party in honor of Akaky's new coat. On the way home from the party the coat is stolen and through his experiences in trying to find justice, he realizes he is back to being a man of no import.
