Plot

A wealthy businessman invites his two nieces to travel from the rustic island of Corfu to stay with him in Athens. Unbeknownst to them, he plans to marry the older one off to another wealthy businessman. She has her own mind, however, and falls in love with her uncle's chauffeur who was tasked with introducing her to city life. Her younger sister provides comic relief by flirting with the male servants in the house.
