The film's events take place in a comedic context, as Fatima (Faten Hamama) opens a law office. Her fiancé, Adel (Kamal El-Shenawy), refuses to agree to her work because he does not believe in her ability to succeed and a woman’s inability to work as a lawyer, so she challenges his opinion to prove to him that she is superior.
