The Tough Guy (1961)
Iraklis (Hercules) Leontopoulos is a low-paid employee with a heart of gold, who inherits a building together with its tenants. His easy disposition is his biggest problem because he can not collect any rents. In addition, he can not make any evictions nor can he demand any increase in the rents. Everything is about to change when his lawyer Aleka Palli makes him play the tough guy in order to collect the unpaid rents. The consequences of this transformation will be hilarious.
