Overview
A pasta-factory owner, Aristotelis Kolokythas, after two unsuccessful marriages in the past, is now crazy about a folk singer, Mirella. For her sake, he lavishly squanders his pasta profits, despite the earnest efforts of his partner Orestis, to rein in his spending and put some sense into him. When the business finally goes bankrupt, the hero considers leaving for the Congo to work with his twin brother, Vangelis. Suddenly, however, everything changes, as Vangelis arrives in Athens.
