Hoda, a student, lives in Port Said with her widowed father, Fathy Al-Mahdawi, the owner of a supply and export company. Naima, an employee in the company, tricks Fathy until he falls in love with her and marries her. Hoda objects because of the difference in class. The stepmother treats her stepdaughter badly, which prompts her to travel to her aunt in Alexandria and join the university there, where she meets the sea captain Shukry, the brother of Samira, her colleague at the college.
