A hotel porter, who a long time ago divorced his wife and his daughter with her in America, is alarmed when a beautiful girl arrives at his hotel looking for her supposedly rich father. The porter had been sending back money and describing himself as a well-to-do businessman. With the help of his hotel friends, he becomes the guest of honor and takes her on a tour of Israel, all the time trying to avoid revealing his true work.
