Homer, touriste américain et « philosophe amateur », passionné par la Grèce ancienne et ses philosophes, arrive en Grèce à la recherche de la Vérité. Dans un bar à rebetiko du Pirée, il croise la route d'Ilya, une prostituée très populaire, libre et indépendante, qui « reçoit » chaque jour de la semaine, sauf le dimanche (ce jour-là est réservé aux amis - d'où le titre du film). Homer, nouveau Pygmalion, décide de faire son éducation et de la remettre dans le droit chemin. Elle délaisse « ses amis », réaménage son intérieur, s'habille plus décemment. Homer l'accompagne à la représentation des tragédies grecques du Festival d'Athènes à l'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus.

The tale begins when architect Harold Berger (Paul Hubschmid) arrives in India to meet with Maharaja Chandra (Walter Reyer), for whom he will build schools and hospitals. En route to the Maharaja's palace, Berger meets a dancer named Seetha (Debra Paget) and saves her from a tiger. Seetha, whose father was European, is promised to the Maharaja, but she and the architect begin to fall in love. Predictably, this leads to a buildup of tension between Chandra and Berger, helped along by scheming palace courtiers. The film is also filled with action, and a highlight of it is Seetha's first ritual dance. At the end of Tiger, Seetha and Berger are imprisoned but escape into the desert just as Berger's sister and her husband, also an architect who works with Berger, arrive in Eschnapur. Chandra informs them the plans have changed; he now wants a tomb to be built.
