Puckish pickpocket Becky, a Bugs Bunny of a girl (Tess Spentzos)— 

—is teasing a wallet out of a purse on an Athens metro when she notices Miranda, a sensitive beauty out of "The Princess and the Pea" (Skyrah Archer), and falls in love. Miranda escapes her, Becky escapes the purse-owner, and the chase is on.

Oops, Becky steals the wallet of a policeman on vacation, her Elmer Fudd, and he’s obsessed with catching her. “My name is Wesley Stankovitch! I don’t care if it doesn’t sound British, I am a police detective with New Scotland Yard—No! I’m on vacation! My pocket has just been picked and I have a photograph of the culprit! Now can I have some men over here!” Duncan Skinner.

They send him a policewoman—Despina Mirou—

whose captain, Georgia Siakavara, distrusts her, especially when she gets pregnant on the job.
