Ghasem is a young gambler who makes a living by stealing old women's purses. His mother treats him kindly. But his father, a police officer, ignores him. His father throws him out of the house and Qasim moves in with his friend Aziz. Qasim steals Zari's purse, and a few days later, Zari, upon seeing Qasim, chases him and faints in a car accident. Qasim takes her to a friend's house, and Zari, after regaining consciousness, starts a brawl. The two gradually become interested in each other. Qasim steals the guests' purses at a party at her house, and Zari's stepmother sees him. Zari leaves her stepmother's house and takes refuge with Qasim, and Qasim marries her. Qasim, unable to find a decent job, robs a jewelry store after discovering that Zari is pregnant and is killed by a bullet fired by his father while trying to escape.
