Set in the 1880's, a rich young man from the middle class falls in love with the daughter of a local count and sets in motion a series of conflicts with the aristocrats of Zante.

A peaceful, though extremely mean, family man, Manolis, is married for ten years to Veta. Some night he spends an astronomical amount of money at a night club, with his partner Giorgos and two pretty and cheerful Greek-American girls, Margaret and Evelyn. However, to his bad luck, Evelyn is no other but Vangelitsa, his wife’s cousin, who visits the next day for lunch.
