Maroula comes from Syros, established in Athens, to work as a servant in a wealthy home, but the hostess takes her off. So he is forced to seek refuge in the house of three poor musicians whom he met on board: Flax, Tramp and Maneta. She thinks to return to her island, but they persuade her to stay with them and become a singer. Maroula falls in love with Lino, but at the same time her heart is beating for Mars (the son of the family who drove her, whom he has met by chance on the street). A little exaggeration makes her feel that Linus does not love her as much as he wants, so he recruits to Mars, but his mother does everything to separate them. Eventually he does. Linos comforts Maroula and even follows her in Syros, while Aris, who then decides to marry her, loses the ship.

We are in the mid-19th century, in a village where a matchmaker, Panousis, convinces the widowed lord Artemis Lycopanagos to give his daughter, Pothiti, to his worthy beau, Avgeris, and himself to marry the beautiful Poulias.

Avgeris, who does not want to betray his beloved, refuses to take Pothiti as his wife and comes into conflict with Lycopanagos, and is killed. Poulias is forced to take refuge in a monastery, and shortly afterwards she dies in turn.

In 1827, at an inn in Nafplio, the capital of the newly established Greek state, a group of people from different parts of Greece are celebrating the defeat of the Turkish fleet in Navarino. However, in their patriotic fervor they drink too much, and a hot-tempered Arvanite, not understanding the dialect of a Cretan and thinking he has insulted him, injures him with a pistol. Police Inspector Dionysios Fantes from the Ionian Islands arrives at the scene to interrogate the witnesses but he too can't understand their various dialects as they can't understand his.
