The Shabhandar works in the market. He is a well-liked and extremely wealthy man who lives with his daughter, Zumurruda. Majid works for the Shabandar, and he is an honest young man who is not from the area. Naaesa admires the Shabhandar, but she is too shy to confess her feelings to him.

The Shabhandar forgives Abu Balha after he betrays his trust. Naaesa’s father falls ill, and Majid treats him, but the man asks the shabhandar to secure his daughter’s future after his death by giving her one-third of his property, while the rest is divided among his children.

Abu Balha makes a fake golden dinar and uses it to buy milk from Naaesa. She is surprised by his generosity, so she decides to look into it until she discovers that it is counterfeit, and she informs the Shabhandar.

Abu Balha goes to the bathhouse, and when he comes out, he tells Abu Kamouna that he cannot find his expensive clothing to propose to Zumurruda. Abu Kamouna tells the Shabhandar how Abu Balha pretends his clothes were stolen so he can get money from him in exchange for them.

Farhoud sells licorice from his cart and shouts loudly in front of Abu Kamouna’s bathhouse, cooperating with Abu Balha to annoy him. Naaesa complains to the Shabhandar about her basket of oranges being knocked over, which she had planned to sell.

Abu Kamouna decides to slaughter a goat and distribute it to the needy, but Abu Balha, out of jealousy, steals it and sells it for a single penny. Zumurruda attends a religious gathering at Khan Abu Kamouna with her father.

Bandits steal Abu Kamouna’s rabbit and kill it. While Zumurruda and Naaesa are walking in the forest, they are put in danger, and the thieves demand that they cook the rabbit. Abu Balha finds a pearl in a fish, which causes a major dispute.

Abu Kamouna is stung by a scorpion, and Majid saves him with a traditional remedy. Abu Balha sells his shop to Abu Kamouna on the condition of frequent visits for check-ins, which tires Abu Kamouna due to the constant visits.

Farhoud wears the red fez and takes on the role of the tax collector. He goes to the market to collect taxes from Abu Balha and Abu Kamouna and forces Abu Kamouna to eat onions. Majid confesses his love for Zumurruda.

Farhoud makes an agreement with Abu Kamouna to buy birds and cook them for customers. Abu Balha tricks Farhoud by bringing in a customer who eats without paying. Zumurruda tells Naaesa that she is fond of Majid.

Abu Balha seizes the key to Khan Abu Kamouna and steals the chickens, but the Shabhandar and Abu Al Amin catch him after having given him their trust. Meanwhile, Majid delivers a letter to Zumurruda to express his feelings without confronting her directly.

A woman argues with her son Hatim, who hits her in the street, and she complains to the Shabhandar and Abu Al Amin. Abu Balha takes the woman to the police and scares her from Abu Kamouna. Zumurruda wonders about Majid’s secrets and his wide knowledge.

The Shabhandar proposes to Naaesa, and Zumurruda presents the engagement ring on his behalf. Abu Balha and Farhoud carry out a trick to expose Abu Kamouna, and when the Shabhandar discovers the matter and believes the trick, he punishes Abu Balha by making him stay in the water for a full hour.

Abu Balha tries to convince Naaesa that the Shabhandar will send her children to an orphanage after the marriage. Naaesa refuses to go through with the wedding, leaving the Shabhandar shocked.

The Shabhandar appoints Abu Al Amin as his successor, sparking the anger of Abu Kamouna and Abu Balha, who compete to hold elections. The Shabhandar announces the arrival of a caravan that will stay in the market for a month, causing the demands against the Shahbandariya to subside.

The Shabhandar changes after Na’asa calls off her engagement, and he invites his nephew to marry Zumurruda, which sparks Majid’s jealousy. Farhoud quarrels with Abu Balha because he tried to steal Balha.

Abu Balha marries Zanouba, Naaesa’s friend, after being attracted to her, while Zumurruda refuses to marry her cousin, and her father does not force her.

Abu Balha realizes Zanouba’s beauty and treats her with love in every way, and she reciprocates his feelings. The Shabhandar reconciles with Naaesa, while Zumurruda tells her father about her love for Majid.

Abu Balha entrusts Abu Kamouna with gold, but he steals it. Zanouba decides to recover it through a clever trick. Abu Kamouna forges Majid’s wedding contract with his daughter and when the forgery is discovered, Shabhandar is able to complete the engagement celebration for his daughter and Majid.

Zanouba sends Abu Balha to look for lamp oil, but Abu Kamouna stops him, and the two agree to scam the people of the market by pretending to be beggars. However, Naaesa exposes them in front of the Shabhandar, the truth becomes clear, and justice is restored.

Zanouba is able to control Abu Balha’s mind, causing him to believe things that aren’t real, which surprises Majid and the people of the market. Naaesa admits to the Shabhandar that she wanted to take revenge on Abu Balha by having him marry Zanouba.

Majid becomes frustrated with Abu Kamouna for doubting his skills as a doctor, so he teams up with Abu Balha and Farhoud to steal Abu Kamouna’s belongings from the Khan. Meanwhile, Zumurruda grows fearful of Abu Kamouna’s envy.

Abu Balha and Farhoud manage to convince Abu Kamouna that his late brother is actually Abu Laymouna. Majid treats Abu Kamouna from this delusion, and the Shahbandar orders Abu Balha to return the furniture to the Khan.

Abu Kamouna tricks Abu Al Amin and takes his money, so Naaesa teams up with Farhoud and Abu Balha, disguising themselves as Chinese merchants to stay in Abu Kamouna’s Khan and retrieve the money.

The Chinese leave a message for Abu Kamouna indicating a box containing jewelry and money, but he panics upon seeing a snake inside. Abu Al Amin succeeds in recovering his money with Abu Balha’s help.

Abu Balha quarrels with his wife and stays in his shop, then moves into Abu Kamouna’s Khan in exchange for signing a check for a large sum of money. Zumurruda asks Zanouba to forgive Abu Balha, and she agrees.

Abu Kamouna tricks Zanouba into believing that her husband is married to another woman and sends her a woman and three children to verify it. Angered, Zanouba sells the contents of her husband’s shop to Farhoud for a low price.

Abu Balha is imprisoned, mistaken for his deceased brother. He asks the judge to bring his wife, Zanouba, to prove his innocence, but she hesitates to admit to the judge that he is her husband.

Saida admits that Abu Kamouna paid her to pretend to be Abu Balha’s wife, and Abu Balha is released after the Shabhandar and the market merchants give their testimony.

Naaesa suggests that Saida marry Abu Kamouna, and she agrees, while Majid treats Abu Kamouna psychologically and tries to reform him to become virtuous and generous.

Saida reveals her true identity to Abu Kamouna after he falls in love with her, and they get married, as do the Shabandar and Naaesa on the same night.
