An elderly collector, Agathon, leaves his servant Nikos a map of an area where an extremely rare ancient statue is buried. Nikos, in turn, wanting to mislead the members of a gang who are watching him closely, assigns a young couple of private detectives, Alekos and Danae, who are constantly arguing with each other, to bring him the statue. Disguised as Catholic nuns, they go to the place indicated on the map, on an island, and stay at the hotel. There, they do not escape the attention of Miss Soula, a tenant with a keen nose, find the statue, escape from the gang that is following them, and return to Agathon's villa, where they are surprised to discover that the collector is still alive.

At the Presidential Mansion news arrives every day indicating that things in the country are going from bad to worse. The President summons all the political leaders in order to understand exactly what is happening; and yet no one can enlighten him. He decides to act. He calls two journalists and assigns them the task of investigating the matter by speaking directly with ordinary people. The investigation starts with the notorious Gypsy Tamtakos, who struggles every day for a living. Then they move on to a simple employee, Markos, who dreams of a raise -which never comes. Then it's a farmer, Thymios, who comes to the capital to sell his oranges. In a largely burlesque manner, the film more or less reveals that the entire misfortune is due to Greeks' laziness and apathy, as well as to the prevailing attitude of "no big deal".
