One night, unable to resist İlhan's insistence any longer, Şemsi goes to a nightclub to have a few drinks. There, he meets Şükran. Losing control, Şemsi finds himself asleep in his room the next morning. What's more, Şükran is there with him. While trying to get Şükran out of the house without his wife Nurten seeing her, his uncle Selami arrives from America. A week later, Uncle Selami, who is eagerly awaited, will leave his entire inheritance to Şemsi and his wife if he likes them.
