Plot summary: Poverty drove Ahlam to the commission of illegal acts for which she was never arrested such as swindling, theft and prostitution; she formed a professional gang with two clever thieves named Mohsen [Mohamed Kamel] and Sharif [Ramzi Gheith]. Ahlam fell in love with Shukry, [Mahmoud Hemida] a novice journalist and they dreamed together about wealth and freedom. Then she dumped him for a wealthy man who refused to marry her after seducing her. She was passed from one man to another and became a whore. She was imprisoned on false testimony; after her release she married a waiter named Hamdy [Abdel Aziz Makhyoun] at a nightclub where she worked, but then she discovered he was addicted to heroin. The owner of the house raped her in front of her husband, but he made no move to save her. The thieves Mohsen and Sharif broke into a wealthy woman's villa, stole her jewels and killed her and her son. Her young daughter Abir [Amira Ibrahim] saw them and ran away. The thieves hid the stolen jewels in Ahlam's apartment but the police arrested the three of them. Ahlam was sentenced to death because the evidence of the crime was found in her apartment. Ahlam's former fiancee Shukry came to her defense and went looking for Abir, the only witness who could save Ahlam from the noose.
