Khalil’s suffering begins with his poor family on the day he got the first place in elementary school in the Sharqia Governorate, where their furniture is seized because of Sheikh Hassan’s excessive lending to people without proving his right.

As Khalil and Ahmed, his cousin, travel to Zagazig to study, they are still doing their best to get a free education. They also suffer from the mistreatment of the illiterate Saadawi.

Khalil and Ahmed succeed with honors, and Amina's condition deteriorates. Khalil and Ahmed suffer from a lack of food and are forced to steal from their colleagues.

Khalil and Ahmed return to town, while Sheikh Hassan is arrested for not paying the debt. The days pass and Khalil works as a foreman on the land owned by Khawaja Taki, who admires his honesty, and he lives with Sheikh Salem.

Hussein's hatred of Khalil increases after he takes over the responsibility of the homestead's warehouse instead of him. Taki's attempts to persuade his father to marry the dancer Kariubi fail. Salem asks Khalil to keep quiet about Hussein's theft of the warehouses for fear that Khawaja will lay-off the workers.

Khatab, the guard, refuses to believe Khalil's story about Hussein's theft of the warehouses despite seeing it. When Khalil discovers that Taki is in cahoots with Hussein in the theft of farmers, he helps a farmer steal corn after making sure that Khawaja stole the rights of this farmer.

Taki fires Hussein, and Khalil becomes the cheif-clerk of the homestead, which pleases the peasants because they got rid of those who stole from them, unaware of who the real thief is. Elsewhere, Nabiha still loves Khalil, while he has not forgotten his love for his cousin, Alia.

Khalil takes advantage of Khawaja's travel and visits Alia and his aunt, as they are on a visit to a village close to him. Khalil is shocked by Salem's complicity with Abu Zaid, the labour contractor, in defrauding the Khawaja.

Khalil covers up Salem's complicity with Abu Zaid. As skirmishes continue between Taki and his brother Nikola to convince him to marry Kariubi against his father Semarides' will, Taki accuses Nikola of wanting to deprive him of the inheritance with this marriage because of his father's dissatisfaction.

Semarides asks Taki to marry his friend's daughter, but Taki refuses. Taki fights with Khalil because of his refusal to defraud the peasants' rights and to be another copy of Hussein. As the news of Khalil standing up to Taki spreads, all the peasants go to the palace to demand their rights.

Takei uses gunshots to disperse the peasants, and the police assault them without investigation. When Khalil travels to find his father quitting his job because of his illness, he asks Khalil not to give in to Taki, so Khalil has to return to provide for his family.

Khalil goes with his father to the hospital for his illness and leaves him with Lashin, his aunt's husband, and his father recovers. Meanwhile, the attempts to involve Khalil in the theft are still continuing.

Khalil admonishes his mother for accepting stolen wheat from Khatab. Meanwhile, Salem is still stealing from Khawaja. After Khalil flees to his city after Taki tries to shoot him, he looks for work to provide for his family.

Khalil volunteers in the army at the non-commissioned officers’ school in Egypt to support his family. He visits Alia and his aunt and receives bad treatment from his cousin Raafat. Khalil graduates and is appointed as a school teacher for his excellence.

Khalil and Murtagi work to cancel the system of correspondence between soldiers and officers, and as a result of this, Khalil speaks on the radio. As Alia is pleased with his success, he takes the opportunity to confess his love for her, while his aunt still sees him as inferior to them.

Khalili is promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant and is chosen to guard the army's chief of staff. Khalil succeeds in high school and intends to complete his studies, while Alia refuses Raafat's request to marry his commander's son.

When Khalil visits Alia to see her joy at his success, he finds her married to the son of Raafat's commander. As Khalil has a breakdown, his army comrades encourage him to complete his education. Sheikh Hassan buys two acres from what Khalil saved, and Khalil enrolls in the Faculty of Law.

Khalil practices his work at the college in his military capacity and studies at the same university. Khalil participates in demonstrations against colonialism, forgetting his rank. All political currents still want to include him in their party, but he refuses.

Khalil is arrested after suspecting that he knows terrorists. He is released with the promise of cooperating with the political police. He graduates, celebrates with his family, and obtains a diploma in public law and economics.
