In Egypt, a wealthy pasha seeks the services of a tutor for his daughter, Laila, in order to pass her Arabic exams. Hamam, a poor teacher recently fired from a girls' school for his inability to discipline his lively students, takes the job. Refreshed by Laila's cheerful disposition and bright outlook, Hamam's dour attitude begins to change and he gradually falls in love with his student -- only to realize she has another suitor in the wings.
