Plot
A good man "Saber Effendi" hardly settled for months in one house with his daughter Fatima. He claims to her that he works in a newspaper printing press, hates mixing with people, and takes pity on her from temptation. In the new residence, "Fatma" contacts the neighbor's son; “Salah” (Salah Zulfikar) who is a student in the last year of the Police College, and they are bound by love, so he goes to marry her from her father, where he works in the newspaper. The daughter discovers that her father does not work in that newspaper. She returns home and tells him about her discovery, and he confesses to her that he was a secretary to the prosecution. And he had another older daughter, who committed suicide to get rid of shame, and confessed to him while she was dying in the name of the one who seduced her and deserted her. The man is afraid that he will be arrested, so he runs away with his other child, and comes to Cairo, where he changes his name.[10]
