Bibo (Ahmed Fathy) is a careless young man who watches adult content online. Stumbling by chance upon the website of an extremist religious group, he becomes influenced by them, follows their teachings, grows a beard, and joins their ranks out of greed for the worldly rewards they promised him. The group's emir, Sheikh Salem (Hany El Tabei), tasks him with photographing several locations onto a flash drive and delivering it to the group in Beirut. Hany (Mohamed Sallam) is a Christian young man and beautician who owns a beauty salon; he travels to Beirut to serve on the jury of the Miss Lebanon pageant. Samir El Abasiry (Mohamed Tharwat) is an aspiring composer for Mahraganat singers whose mother, Nana El Tayeb (Nadia El Irakia), forces him to work as a drug dealer alongside his uncle, Ali El Tayeb (Bayoumi Fouad), who travels with him to Beirut to broker a hashish deal. They all cross paths aboard the same flight to Beirut, where Bibo is subjected to a body search because of his thick beard, prompting him to slip the flash drive into Hany's handbag. After arriving in Beirut, Hany heads to the hotel where the competition is hosted, followed by Bibo, who is trying to retrieve the flash drive. Bibo fails to enter the venue due to a lack of an invitation and expensive ticket prices. He finds himself surrounded by a group of gay rights demonstrators and joins them after noticing some of them sporting beards, mistakenly assuming they belong to the religious group. They naturally welcome him, and Hany eventually rescues him, but only after things have spiraled out of control. Meanwhile, Samir and his uncle Ali meet an attractive Lebanese female mob boss and receive samples of hashish and hallucinogenic pills; they consume a large quantity to test them and desperately try to reach the hotel once the pills kick in. The uncle asks for aged cheese and smoked herring to sober up, and when an unfocused Samir ventures out to fetch them, he runs into Hany and Bibo. The three drink alcohol together and end up at Bibo's apartment, where he retrieves the flash drive. The Sheikh's men arrive to collect the drive, find Samir and Hany with him, and capture them because they uncovered their secret. At the group's headquarters, they meet the Emir (Mohsen Mansour), a former street vendor from Port Said who fled municipal authorities in Egypt in search of a living, managed to behead an American general shot by rebels, and handed the head to the Caliph, who granted him the emirate of "Port Emad." Discovering that the three musketeers are Egyptian, the Emir appoints Samir as his personal bodyguard, Hany as a cultural consultant, and puts Bibo to work peeling onions in the kitchen, marrying them all to prostitutes abducted from the streets of Beirut. Prostitute Sally (Haya Khalil) is assigned to Hany the Christian, who avoids approaching her to prevent sectarian strife; she had been abducted after leaving Gameat El Dowal Street on a assignment in Beirut. The group then encounters the veteran warrior Adham Sabry (Sami Maghawri), who reveals that an upcoming operation in Egypt was missing certain reconnaissance photos—photos that a traitor had completed and delivered to the Caliph on a flash drive. He instructs them to get close to the Emir so he assigns them the mission. They successfully gain the Emir's trust, and he tasks them with stealing the Tahya Misr fund box. At Beirut Airport, they run into Uncle Ali El Tayeb, who has married the Lebanese crime boss and refused to return to Egypt. At Cairo Airport, they are arrested by Intelligence, who knew every detail of the operation from the start. However, a crisis arises when the Emir kidnaps several tourists, threatening to execute them unless he receives the Tahya Misr box. A large crate is delivered to him, but when the Emir opens it, commandos burst out, arrest him and his men, and free the hostages. Security officials thank the three musketeers, instructing them to maintain secrecy and return to their former lives. (When a Man Falls into the Quagmire of His Thoughts, He Ends Up in a Farce)
