Penniless Ali
5.0
The film tells the story of what happens to Çulsuz Ali, who takes the place of Beyefendi, who looks very much like him. Beyefendi has a very large debt at the casino. In order to pay off this debt, he needs to get his hands on the inheritance left to him by his uncle. However, his uncle's will is missing. The creditors, who are aware of all this, are waiting for the gentleman to find the will. Çulsuz Ali is a wrestler. Believing he has lost his former agility, he gives up wrestling and comes to Istanbul. While fleeing his creditors, the gentleman encounters Çulsuz Ali, who bears a striking resemblance to him. The gentleman, wearing Çulsuz Ali's clothes, dies in a traffic accident. Çulsuz Ali will take the gentleman's place.
