The virgin only son of a strict mother, who tries to keep him away from women, is kidnapped by a fellow villager.

Bent on winning the heart of Michalios, a guileless, virginal young man and the village's most handsome lad, the beautiful, love-smitten shepherdess, Marianna, enlists the help of the local witch. Marianna, knowing that Michalios' strict mother, Froso, is against this relationship, uses every trick in the book to entice Michalios; however, in vain. But, Froso, too, who is already aware of seductive Marianna's intentions, is willing to go to great lengths to avert this marriage, refusing to take this situation lying down.
