Ahmed returns from abroad and finds Mona waiting at the port with Sheikh Saleh al-Awwad (Ibrahim Qadri) and his son Arian (Ali Mustafa), who used to sing with the adoptive siblings over the Mawlid holiday.
Meanwhile, however, the prospective couple encounter disreputable characters in the person of Seifullah Zadeh (Mahmoud el-Meliguy) and his son Ismat (Momtaz Abazah), both compulsive horse racing gamblers and prodigious con men of aristocratic families and wealthy heiresses.
Saifullah and Ismat scheme to kill the Pasha and take over Mona's wealth, and they wait for him to come back from asking for Ahmed's return to shoot him.
Ahmed chases Saifullah and Ismt and apprehends them for arrest, then offers to donate blood to the Pasha at the hospital, saving his life.
She threatened to stop filming if he continued advertising it this way, deeming it as harming her reputation as a wife and mother, according to a 1971 feature in the Lebanese entertainment magazine Al Mawed.
