The film stars some of Egypt's most prominent stars of the era, including Ahmed Ramzy, Rushdy Abaza, Fayza Ahmed, Naima Akef, and Zeinat Sedki. Set in a time where gypsies still roamed Egypt freely and had their own areas of living. This movie tells the tale of a rich man falling in love with a gypsy and transforming her into a socialite in order for her to be accepted by his family, and so he can win a bet.
