Synopsis

A young Egyptian from a poor background qualifies as a doctor after studying medicine in Cairo. He becomes a successful doctor, not losing sight of his commitment to assist the poorest in society. He encounters Aziza, who falls in love with him, but he ignores her - becoming interested instead in the sophisticated Lady Avon, whose protegee he becomes. After years in London and Paris as a society doctor, he realises that Aziza was the right woman for him.
