For years, the self-made and hard-working shipowner, Periklis Dimitrakas, has been trying to make his frivolous, good-for-nothing nephew, Tonis, see the error of his ways; but, in vain. Spending money like a sailor on shore, Tonis hasn't worked a single day in his life; however, Periklis has come up with a desperate plan to get his lazy nephew's life back on track. As a result, Periklis takes under his wing his bookish secretary, Aspasia, to give her a complete makeover, intent on making Tonis notice her, and, hopefully, fall in love with her. But, can the new and improved Aspasia win the philanderer's heart?
