Plot

The film revolves around Abd al-Fattah, who steals a bag of money belonging to "Uncle Amin" while he is outside a shop where the saleswoman "Samia" works. Samia photographs the theft and decides to threaten the thief to return the bag, or else she will report him to the police. A disagreement arises between "Ali" and his fellow thieves regarding returning the bag to its owner. The film follows the development of a love story between Ali and Samia, who go out together and eventually decide to get married, under the condition that Ali leaves his life of crime behind. Samia then works as a treasury employee at a small shop.

After "Ahmed" is released from prison, he meets his old friend "Ali" and discovers that his wife is actually his ex-wife, who was previously named "Wafaa" and had run away from his home. Ahmed threatens to expose her for being married to two men at the same time. To escape this situation, Wafaa decides to kill him. However, the police manage to chase and kill Ahmed, and her husband forgives her past.
