Plot

Lefteris Paganinakis, a word play on Paganini, is thrown in jail after becoming involved in a brawl caused by two rival priests who are quarrelling over who gets to use Lefteris' orchestra as an attraction for churchgoers. While in prison, he relates his life's story to a fellow inmate. It is revealed that Lefteris had three weddings which all ended up in divorce proceedings presided over by the same judge. Other details of his adventures and tribulations are unfurled during this narration, along with certain aspects of prison life. But two pleasant surprises await him. One of the two priests visits him in jail with an offer, and the clerical rivalry is rekindled. Meanwhile, the judge advises Lefteris on how to circumvent legal restrictions on matrimony.
