Plot: The story revolves around the character Qeysar, played by Behrouz Vossoughi. The narrative unfolds when one of the brothers of a girl named Fatemeh, Mansour, violates her chastity. Fatemeh, after writing a letter to her mother and uncle, commits suicide. The eldest brother, Farman, played by Naser Malek Motiei, seeks revenge and confronts Mansour's brothers empty-handed, as he had sworn never to use a knife again.

However, Mansour's brothers, Rahim and Karim, ambush Farman and kill him. Qeysar, Farman's younger brother, returns from the south and, upon learning of the tragedy, seeks revenge against Mansour's brothers. He takes justice into his own hands, killing Karim in a bathhouse and Rahim in a slaughterhouse.

Later, Qeysar, along with a woman from Mashhad and a dancer named Shahrzad, finds Mansour at the train station and stabs him with a knife. The film ends with Qeysar being arrested by the police, providing a dramatic conclusion to the story.
