In 1910, István Primusz, a master carpenter, was living in a small street in Óbuda with his three beautiful daughters, known locally as the "three doves". Guszti Groll, the wealthy master builder's full-grown son, courts the eldest daughter, Manci, and arranges a six-room apartment for her. But Manci loves the young and penniless baron. The young man only begins to woo the girl at the behest of his wealthy employer to seduce her for him, but eventually falls in love with her himself. Guszti Groll then quickly moves on to the middle girl, Ica, but soon finds out that she is already engaged to the apothecary. Now only the youngest girl, Stefi, is free, but she happily agrees to move into the six-room apartment with Guszti.
