Ebrahim Bagheri with cinematography by Naser Rafat. The film was
produced by the Film and Cinema Organization. Plot summary: The two
ruffians Abbas and Ebram had an old honest friendship. Asghar, who
saw the two of them as a barrier to his demands for tribute, would
plot against them once in awhile but he always failed. Abbas and Ebram
both fell in love with a new cabaret singer who had recently appeared
at their favorite public place. Asghar tried to take advantage of this
situation to disrupt the friendship between Abbas and Ebram but even
though he got a result at first and there was trouble between the two
friends, finally the two ruffians came to their senses and Asghar was
the one who ended up suffering the most.
