Plot

In the 1940s, a policeman named Imam al-Sayyid al-Masry moves from Ismailia to Cairo to work in the red-light district. He falls in love with a prostitute named Nousa, who works for a pimp named Jalal, without knowing her profession. Imam defends her from a British soldier who blocks her path in the street and assaults her, thereby losing his place on the police force after a trial. Thus out of work, Imam returns to the neighborhood to search for work, ultimately becoming a pimp himself and winning a turf war with Jalal. Imam becomes a neighborhood magistrate, abolishes prostitution in the district, turns his brothel into a nightclub, and joins the guerrillas resisting British occupation.
