[Adly Kasseb] farm, graduated from high school he decided to enroll
them at Cairo University. Sheikh Salem went to Mahmoud Bey for help
but he was against the idea of educating the children of farmers so
Sheikh Salem's wife [Fatheya Ali] decided to sell her gold so she
could send their boys Ibrahim and Ali to the university. Mahmoud Bey
was angry and demanded that Sheikh Salem send his daughter Amani to
work for him as a maid at his mansion. Despite the entreaties and
tears of her parents Amani [Soad Hosny] had to go there and work as a
maid, even though she had played with Mahmoud Bey's son Hossam [Ahmed
Ramzi] since she was a child and they had fallen in love forever.
However now she was a maid and because of that his father chose Shen
Shen [Nawal Abul Foutouh] for him, the daughter of Prime Minister Al-Izmerli Pasha.
Because of that marriage Mahmoud Bey was able to obtain money, an
endowment and more wealth. Amani was angry about her childhood friend
Hossam's proposal to Shen Shen, and she insulted her when she was
walking with Hossam. Mahmoud Bey struck her with a whip, whereupon she
ran away and got on a train to Cairo to look for her brothers. Her
brothers Ibrahim and Ali had opened a sandwich stand inside the
university to manage their expenses and their classmates were helping
them. Amani came to support them. She worked with them and quickly
became acquainted with their friends. She became so stylish that her
brothers Ibrahim and Ali almost did not know her. For this reason
Hossam, her childhood friend and a student at the same university, did
not recognize her. Hossam loved Amani's new look and wanted to tell
her he was in love with her, but one day she came to him in peasant
clothes and told him who she was. Although he initially rebelled, in
the end he asked her brother Ibrahim for her hand and love won the day
despite the opposition from Sheikh Salem and Mahmoud Bey.
