Hamouda (Hassan Fayek) sings to guests when his wife Sharbat (Zeinat Sedki) screams that she is going into labor with their first child, prompting him to go look for friends with money to lend to hire a midwife while a neighbor stays with her.
The neighbor's very young son Adel summons him with news of Sharbat being in poor condition and asks for a doctor, who does it pro bono but is given money by Hamouda as a reward anyway.
Hamouda names the newborn Noor el-Ayoun (roughly translated as “apple of my eye”), and she grows up to be a girl who loves dance and becomes the greatest passion of Adel (Karem Mahmoud.
By coincidence, she goes to the theatre where Hamouda works and sings and dances to fill in for an absentee headliner, earning a standing ovation and a job offer from director Hanafi (Mahmoud el-Meliguy).
Adel deduces that she is lying, however, and also uncovers that Samira is in fact alive, the passport forged, and the money counterfeit; he informs the police and marries Noor at last.
