Plot summary: A girl named Nimra who loved to sing [Sabah] fell in love with a famous musician named Monir Yousri [Muhammad Fawzi]. When Monir began preparing an operetta Nimra competed to be in it and won a place for herself. Monir's father [Suleiman Naguib] liked her and began courting her but at the same time he sensed her feelings for his son. To make Monir jealous Nimra made an agreement with his father that he would claim they had agreed to marry. This shocked Monir. At first Monir's father doted on Nimra but he ultimately had no alternative but to acknowledge their feelings for each other and support their marriage.
