Shehata Effendi is an employee in a hospital, a simple man with a lively conscience who represents a thorn in the throat of his corrupt colleagues who embezzled from the hospital's warehouses, and they are Badawi, Hanafi, Borai and Bashkatib, Where they agree with the supplier to send his representative in half the quantities, they sign the invoices in the full amount, and they take the difference for themselves away from Shehata, who was living with his wife Amina and his daughter Nemat who aspires to get rich and glory, and loves her neighbor Hussein, the son of Saber, the shoe worker. Hussein was an employee and affiliated with one of the colleges, and he had got engaged to Nemat, but when Shehata Effendi saw them alone on the rooftops, he hurried to marry them, and applied to the Bashkatib with a request for a loan to prepare his daughter needs for the marriage. One of his friends, in return for a trust receipt, pending the disbursement of the advance, and when they were sure that he had spent the amount on his daughter's marriage, the Bashkatib informed him of the refusal of the advance, and demanded that he sponsor return the money or else imprisonment. He discovered the playful Shehata, then assaulted the Bashkatib, was referred to investigation, was dismissed and imprisoned, and his wife fell ill, so he was forced to kiss the foot of the Bashkatib, who demanded that he closes his eyes from the embezzlement, and gave him the amount he requested from his own pocket as a down payment. Shehata closed his eyes, his wife recovered, his daughter married, and she traveled with her husband to the mines of Abu Znaima in the Red Sea, and she suffered from the life of the desert, and her husband was preoccupied with her with his work and lessons, so she rebelled against this life, and a dispute broke out between them, so she left him and returned to Cairo, to discover that her father had left the house, after Amina refused to live with her with forbidden money, and he rented a separate house, and his life changed for the better. Hussein apologised. She told him, “You are the son of nobody, and I am the daughter of a rich man.” Naamat was deceived by false appearances, and her father's shyness indulged himself in wine and women to enjoy what he missed from the pleasures of the world. But the embezzlement was discovered, so his colleagues sponsored the burning of the stores to try to hid the fraud. Shehata tried to save the hospital from the fire. He died on fire. Nemat tried to get back to Hussein, asking for permission, but he refused. But Saber asked him to pardon and to forgive his beloved, who became alone in this world, so he finally forgave her.
