The film tells the tragicomic story of Burhan, who lives with his elderly sister Nebahat and spends his time losing money gambling. It takes place in an atmosphere where fake identities abound and swindlers who have been swindled themselves attempt to walk a tightrope. In this environment, which resembles a masked ball, the film's protagonists are trying to "outwit the devil."

The paths of Resul, a blind sculptor who served time for murder; Kader, a famous actress; Fazıl Bir, a deranged director who turned into a human bomb in order to force Kader to star in his film; Güngör, a hard-working classical musician; and Muhtar, Güngör's incompetent manager who caused him to become a loser, intersect at a French restaurant called Le Chic , and within 15 minutes, a series of extraordinary events unfold and come to a head.
