Plot summary: The old husband of a young woman manager of a
beverage company died and the employees gathered around her. One of
them flattered her because he wanted to be the general director.
However she preferred the company's director of advertising and took
him as a husband instead of appointing him general director, even
though he was already the husband of a good woman and the father of
three girls. The new wife was able to convince her husband to divorce
the mother of his children and keep his daughters with him until they
were of legal age. This separation was painful for the family. The
youngest went to visit her sisters in the home of her father. They
decided to run away and resolved not to separate. The three sisters
passed their nights outside for they had no place to go. Their lives
continued in this painful way. The father and the divorced mother
searched for the fugitive sisters with the police while a journalist
became aware of this social problem, and then the truth was told. The
three sisters disguised themselves as boys and went to work for the
pianist Ibrahim and his boy, another child who had lost his family in
a similar way. The three sisters took up the profession of dancing
and singing accompanied by the piano and stayed in an abandoned bus
procured for them by Nadia. They decided to attack the factory of the
carbonated beverage company owned by the wife of the father. The
three little girls began distributing publications and warning the
people against buying the factory's products. This threatened the
factory and brought it to a sales slump. The angry wealthy wife
lodged complaints against the divorced wife accusing her of inciting
her daughters against her.
The accused was interrogated and the police arrested the girl. The
sisters learned of the arrest and fled with a determination to commit
suicide. The police, the father and the mother began searching for
the sisters and the group found clothing floating in the water. This
seemed to mean the sisters had killed themselves, but then the girls
suddenly appeared and the father embraced his divorced wife.
