Late 19th century in Alexandria. Two traditionally rival Turkish families, "Seferoglu"s and "Tellioglu"s are competing for the "Green Valley". The winner will be determined by Daver Bey, who has a beautiful young daughter, Leyla. Both families try to arrange a marriage between a man from their family and Leyla, so that Daver Bey will be inclined to give the green valley to his "relatives". Tellioglus, who are behind in the race, desperately find a final solution: They will fake their idiotic butler, Saban, as the highest ranked Ottoman soldier in Egypt: Tosun Pasha.

Based on Osman Şahin's "Irgat Erleri" and Korhan Yurtsever's "Zincir," this film, adapted for the screen by Macit Koper, tells the story of a peasant couple who work as a night watchman (Zülfo) and a cleaner (Elif) at an amusement park. Before coming to the city, the couple worked as laborers in Çukurova and lost their daughter in a fire, which caused Elif to develop schizophrenia.
