Tapılacak Kadın

The story tells of a famous cabaret singer's struggle with fame. Türkan is a singer whose fame has spread throughout the country. She lives surrounded by a fan base. One day, she is captivated by Ömer, whom she sees on stage at the cabaret where she works. However, Ömer has tuberculosis. Türkan's interest intensifies the severity of his illness. He has been in love with Türkan since his student days. Türkan learns of this love from someone else. She will not remain indifferent to the sincerity she has been missing for years. However, Ömer is not the only one in love with the beautiful woman. Her wealthy boss is determined not to give up on Türkan.
