Khodadad, who is interested in gold, is expelled from the village due to his foolishness. A group of smugglers mistake Khodadad for their boss at the capital's train station because of their resemblance. They intend to kill a man named Mansour Khan. When Khodadad meets Mansour Khan and his daughter, he warns the daughter that the idle young men surrounding her are not good friends for her. Mansour Khan approves of Khodadad's behavior and promises to go to Khodadad's hometown and ask the headman to agree to his marriage with Gold. The smugglers plant a bomb in Mansour Khan's car, and after realizing Khodadad's resemblance to their boss, they tie Khodadad's hands and feet and imprison him in the basement of a building. Khodadad frees himself and, after saving Mansour Khan, traps the smugglers for the police.
Directed by Amin Amini, Khodadad leans on a strong ensemble — Manoochehr Valizade, Vida Ghahremani, Taji Ahmadi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1962.
