- Aunt Calliopi returns to Greece from Chicago after 30 years and plans to marry off her nieces.
- Disciplined, stern, and above all, old-fashioned, Charilaos Bardas--a retired general and one of the last old-school Athenian gentlemen--rules his family with an iron fist. With three daughters of marrying age, the good-hearted but autocratic paterfamilias has his work cut out for him; however, the timely arrival of Charilaos' widowed sister--the open-minded Greek expatriate in Chicago, Calliope Pappas--will soon bring about change and innovation. So, without delay, the resourceful problem-solver concocts an unusual but infallible plan to speed things up a bit, and before long, the first blissful niece walks down the aisle with her hand-picked husband. But, with such a clever strategy, will the good auntie from Chicago still remain single?—Nick Riganas
- Harilaos Bardas is a retired military officer whose views on parenting are extremely old-fashioned. He does not allow his three young daughters to socialize with men, or even to be seen by men while swimming at the beach. He expects prospective grooms to ask parental permission to court them, but his wife is worried that they are raising three spinsters. Harilaos' widowed sister Kalliopi soon returns from the United States and intends to modernize her family. She buys fashionable clothes for her nieces, and teaches them how to dance to rock music. Then she plays matchmaker to have them meet with eligible young bachelors. She turns out to be much better in matchmaking than Harilaos ever was.—Dimos I
