Abdulmajid is an alcoholic railroad worker who neglects his family. The couple decides to marry Nima off to a teacher named Al-Batawi to financially stabilize the household, prompting Nima to flee to Mansoura while Al-Batawi is married with papers Abdulmajid forges. In Mansoura, Nima finds work on the farm of a gentleman named Mahmoud Bey, who falls in love with her after separating from his fiancée. On her return to inform her sister, Nima brings Mahmoud Bey, who encounters a livid Al-Batawi and fights back ending in the latter’s stabbing.
