Plot summary: Mohammad Fathy rented a new apartment where one of the windows happened to face the palace of Taher Pasha, the father of Nadia. There was a misunderstanding between Fathy and Nadia when he accused her of throwing rocks at his balcony, which angered her. Then he discovered she was the daughter of the sister of his boss at the Bank of Egypt where he worked, and that a little girl had been throwing the rocks. He realized he owed Nadia an apology. He followed her on the train to Alexandria so he could do that and they fell in love. Fathy decided to marry Nadia. He discovered his father knew her father Taher Pasha so he called him to get him to make arrangements.
