Qinawi is a lame young man who is offered a job as a newspaper vendor by Madbouli, who owns a newsstand. Qinawi becomes infatuated with Hannuma, a lovely young woman who sells cold drinks. However, Hannuma is engaged to Abu Siri, a luggage porter at the station, and she is not interested in Qinawi's attentions. Driven mad by jealousy, Qinawi's thoughts turn to murder.In a secondary plotline, Abu Siri, who is fed up with how the porters are ruthlessly exploited by their bosses at the train station, is agitating to start a union.

 As You Know: A lot of this with Hannuma and the other cold drink vendors in this first scene, when they say "The only one who will profit is the buffet owner, Mansour." Further As You Know dialogue establishes that they are selling their own drinks on the sly and keeping the profits.

 Extra! Extra! Read All About It!: "Read all about it! Read all about it! Mutilated body in a trunk!" This, from a different newspaper vendor about the previously mentioned murder case, is what makes Qinawi decide to kill Hannuma.
