Plot
Each episode follows 'Allan' as a clever business-minded person, coming up with some immoral tricks to earn fast money. He used to use 'Nanha' as his stooge. He himself was not inclined to work and would rather be the sleeping partner in every saga or tell the tricks to poor Nanha (his front man). The character of Nanha became an instant hit. He faced the new society and was therefore used by Allan as the 'front man' for his tricks. In the end, he would unintentionally toss out the whole plot of scheming Allan by speaking the truth to the public.[2][3]

Pakistani society
Although a 1960s comedy drama, the show portrayed the dark side of Pakistani society, where scams, frauds, and such are widespread. The series contained a positive message in each episode, though.[2]
Film industry
'In Film industry' episode, it is shown that inexperienced and materialistic type of people have come into the Pakistani film industry who just make 'dummy' films. This could be easily validated from the state of present film industry in Pakistan.[3]
