Mustafa Khan Ilchi (Trous) decides to marry off his daughter Maryam to a wealthy old man to save himself from bankruptcy. Maryam, with sadness, leaves her father's house, and in the street, after being harassed by Sosol and Topol, a young wrestler named Sharif arrives and takes Maryam to his mother's house. Mustafa Khan announces his daughter's disappearance in the newspaper, and Sosol and Topol extort money from him by pretending to know Maryam's whereabouts. Sharif's mother, seeing Maryam's picture in the newspaper, asks her to leave their house. After leaving the house, Maryam encounters a blind girl in a coffee shop and gives her necklace and clothes to her. The blind girl is killed by falling into the river, and newspapers report that Maryam has committed suicide. Sharif, with Jafar, Mustafa Khan's driver, goes in search of Maryam and finds her in a village. Sharif defeats his Italian opponent Alberto in a match, and Mustafa Khan embraces him and his daughter on the wrestling mat.
