Qaraqosh sends spies to find out about the wealthy people in town, while he acts as a judge in a dispute between El Tanbouri and Abu El Qamaqem. When Juha intervenes to defend El Tanbouri, Abu El Qamaqem loses his bribe to the judge. Qaraqosh encounters a case among the townspeople for stealing garbage.

Hunayn devises a plan to bring a suitor to marry Qasima, El Tanbouri's daughter, in exchange for money. As Abu El Qamaqem quarrels with El Zubaid, and they try to outbid each other, El Tanbouri's wife, Rita, sabotages the marriage.

El Tanbouri is surprised by Rita's escape with his money and assigns Hunayn to search for her. During the search, he meets a woman from Bani Rafee' who accuses a man of being indebted to her deceased husband, so Hunayn intervenes to save the man.

Zumoroda orders Qaraqosh to offer a banquet to the people. As Tanbouri wants to marry Zafarana, she stipulates that he marries his daughter off, whereupon the wedding takes place.

As Rita returns home after El Tanbouri has taken another wife, she rains blows on him and Hunayn, then competes with her co-wife in serving El Tanbouri, after which they both turn against him.

When El Tanbouri's second wife, Zafarana, uses his naive son to hide his old slippers, which he regards as a good omen, he wears Salem's slippers, and the latter accuses him of theft, so Hunayn intervenes to reconcile them.

Salem quarrels with El Tanbouri because of his failure to fulfill Hunayn's promises to him. El Tanbouri sends his son with his slippers to get rid of them, causing problems between his father and Abu El Qamaqem, and misfortune remains in his pursuit.

Rita plots to make Qasim marry Abu El Qamaqem's daughter so that he inherits him after his death. Abu El Qamaqem gets sick while getting more miserly. A widow brings Baklava to Juha, but Abu El Qamaqem's son steals it from him.

As Umm Rabaa discovers that Qasim is watching her daughter from the rooftop, she exposes him and El Tanbouri. Umm Rabaa accuses El Tanbouri of causing her to miscarry after he threw his shoes at her, so Qaraqosh leaves the ruling to Hunayn in this case.

Abu El Qamaqem gets involved in paying off his son Qomqom's debt to El Zubaid, so the latter ally with Salem to get his money. Juha marries an old woman to get a donkey, after which his wife quarrels with her beautiful maidservant, whom Qaraqosh rules in her favor.

As Hunayn and Abu El Qamaqem compete in offering bribes to Qaraqosh in order for each of them to gain his favor, Juha intervenes to spoil Abu El Qamaqem's bribe.

El Tanbouri comes face-to-face with Hunayn and El Zubaid in Qaraqosh's court against Salem, the chamberlain, accusing him of stealing the gifts they bring him. Juha intervenes and asks Qaraqosh to keep Salem in his position so that they do not deal with a worse alternative.

After Juha gets close to Qaraqosh, he thrives. The young man, Amr, gets caught up in a plot at the hands of Darrag's son, so he gets money from his father. Juha and his wife suffer from their miser neighbor, Zubaid.

As Qaraqosh hosts a banquet, Abu Darrag crashes it with a false identity. Qaraqosh makes bets with him; if he does not win, he will be tried, and if he wins, he will pardon him.

As Juha and Qaraqosh place bets together, Juha wins a donkey from every man who fears his wife. Zumoroda causes a quarrel between Qaraqosh and Juha, but the latter manages with his cunning to fix the matter.

Abu El Qamaqem makes Juha bring Qaraqosh a fruit he hates, so Juha makes him hoist with his own petard. Abu El Qamaqem fails to buy Juha's donkey for a dinar after the latter asked him for an exorbitant amount in exchange for the donkey and his shoes together.

Zubaid and Abu El Qamaqem rage, as they fail to get Juha's house due to his verbal deceit of them regarding a nail he left in the house.

As a sheikh and a beautiful girl quarrel in front of Qaraqosh, Zumoroda gets angry at him for his admiration for her. Swindlers arrive at the city claiming that they have authority in the Levant and that they have a rare gem, while everyone seeks to get close to them to get it.

It is revealed that El Tanbouri has colluded with the swindlers. As the townspeople discover that the people who came to their town are swindlers, they accuse Juha of colluding with the gang, so the cobbler defends him. After El Tanbouri and Hunayn see the thieves, they detain them.

After Qaraqosh hires El Tanbouri and Hunayn in the secret police, he falls prey to the gang of swindlers and turns against El Tanbouri and Hunayn, after which Zumoroda helps them in order to get what's been stolen for herself.
