Plot

Ismat Kazem is the second man in an international gang between Cairo and Beirut, and no one knows who the first man is, who lives most of his time in a cabaret and around him is his mistress, the dancer Samra, who does not want to recognize his daughter from Samra and attributes her to a bar worker. He falls in love with Lamia, but she ignores his feelings and decides to marry a rich man. The first man issues an order to kill Ibrahim, Lamia's brother, because he went out of his way, so Lamia reports to the police and asks to know who the killers of her brother are. Here comes the police officer Kamal who impersonates her second brother, Akram, who lives in Brazil, and Lamia returns to the cabaret to work, causing others to Samra. Kamal manages to enter the gang's den as the most honorable brother of Lamia, and while he is there, he begins to feel love for Lamia, and apparently she loves him back. Out of hatred towards Ismat, Samra helps Kamal in his chase to arrest Ismat, but Ismat turns to the first man to smuggle him, but the first man surprises Ismat by eliminating him, as he is the only one he knows and thus represents the greatest danger to him. Then Kamal arrives and manages to arrest the first man red-handed with the killing of Ismat. And Kamal finally wins the love of Lamia.
