The plot centers on Stavros (played by Stavros Paravas), an old-school neighborhood tough guy who makes a living with his tricycle. His rough-around-the-edges persona catches the attention of Tonia, the sophisticated owner of an advertising agency. She decides to hire him with the intention of "civilizing" him—teaching him refined manners and a modern lifestyle to use him for her business projects.
