Mrs. Mina is fed up with her husband Laki's excessive kindness, patience, and stoicism. She can no longer stand his gentle nature and, with his consent, goes out in the evenings with his friend Fani. Nionios, another friend of Lakis, who is also fed up with his behavior, in an attempt to change him, tells him about his exploits with women and urges him to find a mistress. That same evening, the naive Lakis recounts to Pavlina, Nionios' wife, what his friend told him, and she, in order to take revenge on her husband, decides to seduce Lakis.
