Plot

Hassan Hodhud is a poor young man who loves boxing, and dreams with his friends Mahmoud and Mustafa to reach the Olympics. Hassan and his friends pass by the float of the millionaire, Suleiman, so his wife, Horreya, invites them to participate in boxing matches in their elegant palace in exchange for attractive financial rewards, while Hassan Hodhud’s matches with his other young competitors are subject to imaginary bets between Horreya and Suleiman, Hassan achieves impressive victories to get huge money rewards. He moves to live in Suleiman's Palace, where Horreya seeks to seduce him, but he rejects her, so she pronounces him and decides to avenge her dignity. Hassan discovers that he has become a puppet that both Suleiman and his wife Horreya tamper with, so he throws what he has earned in their face and abandons wealth and palaces to return to the popular neighborhood in which he resides, starting again in new rounds of boxing, content with the looks of his beloved.
