Courting turns dangerous when Angie's neighbor Stan develops a sudden infatuation with a mysterious, very pregnant kitchen helper at a nearby Greek eatery--and a death of a celebrated do-gooder by very unnatural causes seems somehow related. Incurable snoop Angie may be biting off a lot more souvlaki than she can safely swallow. Stir in a vengeful stalker, some strange happenings on a fishing boat, and a second heaping helping of homicide, and it looks like poor Paavo may end up celebrating solo, due to the untimely d.o.a. of his hapless fiancee.
