Kokovios and his close friend Nikolakis engage in various odd jobs with the hope that they will eventually find success. The kind-hearted Kokovios helps an elderly woman take her paralyzed daughter, Vasso, to Tinos, where the Virgin Mary always performs miracles. On their return to Piraeus, he learns that his father has died and so he becomes the heir to the family business. As he is no longer penniless, he confidently asks for Vasso's hand in marriage, and she agrees. A typical Greek comedy with naive heroes and excessive optimism.
