Overview

Two poor roommates, Spouritis and Floros, owe their landlady, Mrs. Persephone, several months' rent and are in danger of being thrown out onto the street at any moment. One day, they take on a job painting a house, but Spouritis's repeated blunders cause them to be chased by the owner, who demands that they pay for the damage. In their attempt to escape, they come across a dying woman, who entrusts them with a sick child and asks them to find his father. The two friends, kind-hearted and compassionate as they are, take it upon themselves to place an ad in a newspaper to find the boy's father. Coincidentally, the child's father is someone who is pursuing them. They try various tricks to avoid him. Then they get into trouble as photographers, and so someone else takes up the chase, resulting in a series of mishaps and blunders.
