Plot summary: Chief Editor Tantawy [Nabil Dessouky] gave the journalist Hamdy [Nour El-Sherif] the job of investigating the murder of Saluma, an inmate at a mental hospital. Hamdy gained entrance into the hospital claiming to be insane, despite the objections of his wife Madiha [Madiha Kamel]. Based on consultations with a psychiatrist he learned how to imitate the state of a mental patient. At the hospital he found three witnesses who said the patient Khalil was the one who had killed Salmuma because she had seen him assault another patient sexually. Hamdy left the hospital and published his report, but discovered he had gone insane himself.
