The businessman Xenophon Karydis strives to marry off his daughter Liza, who has just returned from abroad, to his well-meaning business partner Prokopis. However, Prokopis messes up, allowing Liza to flirt with a man who has also recently returned to Greece. Liza's father, with the help of Prokopis, spreads the rumor that the "infamous" cinema star Gisela Dali was Prokopis' lover, which makes him highly desirable among women. Even the conceited Liza believes the tale. The whole plan seems to be progressing well until Gisela Dali herself arrives, having heard the peculiar rumors. Meanwhile, her jealous fiancé Vrasidas confronts Prokopis, seeking an explanation.
