Plot

A contractor forces his daughter Fathia (Aziza Amir) to marry Azmi Bey (Mahmoud El-Meliguy), who covets her money while the other covets his money. Fathia gets to know the engineer Mahmoud (Mahmoud Zulfikar), whose workshop was lost in the Scandinavian raids. Mahmoud can run the factories that she inherited from her father when they were idle. Azmi pretends to be keen on his wife's money. When he senses that he is almost losing her, Fathia asks for a divorce, and after much trouble, she gets divorced and finally marries Mahmoud, the love of her life.
