Moftah Moftah (Ahmed Fahmy) is a con artist and thief who teams up with his nurse sister, Ghazala Moftah (Asmaa Abulyazeid), to form a criminal gang specialized in scams and thefts, selling stolen goods to boss Gaafran (Hamdi Heikal). Commissioned by the boss, they steal the Mona Lisa painting, which came to Egypt on an artistic tour. However, koshary sauce spills on its face; while attempting to clean it with paint thinner, the Mona Lisa's face disappears, so they replace it with the face of actress Mona Zaki. Gaafran is not fooled and orders his right-hand man, the dwarf Gawhar (Ahmed Fathi), to pull out Moftah's nails. Moftah decides to break away from Gaafran and work independently after learning that Gaafran plans to steal a precious jewel dubbed "the Crimson Grouper," recently purchased by Hafez Kwayyes (Bayoumi Fouad) from the thief Nasnas (Mostafa Mansour). Moftah stakes out the Kwayyes family's villa where the jewel is kept, discovering that its owner, Hafez Kwayyes, is a miserly antique dealer fond of having affairs with housemaids, and married to his cousin Bossy Kwayyes (Shereen Reda), a socialite, animal rights activist, and founder of a charity to protect white chickens from slaughter. Bossy recently agreed with her husband to separate after discovering his affair with their maid, Berensa (Emy El Masry), but postponed the divorce until after the wedding of their daughter, Aysha Kwayyes (Geelan Alaa), who is eccentric and mentally unstable. Hafez has agreed to betroth her to the psychiatrist Dr. Lateef (Amr Wahba) to save on her treatment costs, renting a room in the villa to the fiancé with breakfast included. Moftah also learns they once had a young son named Mazhar Kwayyes, lost twenty years ago at Luna Park amusement park after entering a haunted house. Also residing at the villa is grandfather Aref Kwayyes (Hussein Fahmy), a member of parliament who exerts cruelty and tyranny over his constituents and is a womanizer who leaves the house claiming to perform evening prayers and stay at the mosque until dawn, only to meet night girls. The household also includes grandmother Kaydahom (Didi Megahed), who permanently resides in the kitchen cooking food. Bossy's niece, singer Mazag Kwayyes (Tara Emad), has also recently returned from abroad, accompanied by Egyptian expatriate Drink Water (Mohamed Mekawy) with the intention of marrying him. Moftah claims that he was lost as a child in the haunted house and is their long-lost son Mazhar Kwayyes, with Ghazala joining him claiming to be his wife. Learning of this, Gaafran sends the dwarf Gawhar after them, posing as their two-year-old toddler. When grandfather Aref grows suspicious, he insists on a DNA test for Moftah. Ghazala helps Moftah swap the sample using a lock of hair from the erratic Aysha, who is left partially bald after a large clump of hair is pulled out, leading Lateef to think she has alopecia. Moftah is captivated by Mazag Kwayyes's beauty and proposes to her, but she refuses due to her fear of marrying relatives and because she is involved with Drink Water. Bossy accompanies her presumed son Mazhar to the circus to free a caged lion in an agreement with lion tamer Rammah (Akram Hosny), who had his legs eaten off by the lion and was left crawling. Hafez Kwayyes decides to hold a newborn celebration for his grandchild Gawhar. During the party, Ghazala and Moftah attempt to steal the jewel, but are caught by grandmother Kaydahom, who catches fire from the candle she is holding, forcing the doctor to put her in a body cast. Grandfather Aref tries to outsmart Ghazala and takes her fingerprints to expose her, but Moftah discovers this and takes photos of him with cabaret girls, threatening him with scandal before the elections, forcing grandfather Aref to back down. The father, Hafez Kwayyes, agrees to sell the jewel to the young gang leader, Ahmed Boulonaki (Ahmed Malek), who is staying at a Soma Bay resort in Marsa Alam, where the wedding of Aysha Kwayyes and Dr. Lateef will also be held. Things get complicated when Aysha insists on wearing the tuxedo while Lateef wears the wedding dress. Moftah advises the doctor to take a firm stand with his bride and her family. When the doctor follows this advice, Aysha hits him on the head with a vase, cracking his skull, and he returns to his family in Upper Egypt. However, Hafez accompanies his wife Bossy and son Mazhar to visit the doctor's family and apologize, only to discover that Dr. Lateef's father (Mohamed Tharwat) is the leader of an armed drug and weapons smuggling gang who kill anyone who crosses them; they narrowly escape with their lives. At the wedding held in Marsa Alam, Hafez agrees with Boulonaki to hand over the jewel during the celebration, receiving its price in advance. Moftah fears the jewel will be stolen, driving Boulonaki to kill Hafez, but the disguised thief Drink Water steals it to sell it to Gaafran. A brawl breaks out among everyone over the jewel. Grandfather Aref and his circle intervene, as does Dr. Lateef's father's armed gang. Gawhar brings in his fellow dwarfs after sympathizing with Moftah and defecting from Gaafran. Everyone stands united against Boulonaki. Gawhar shoots Gaafran, and after Boulonaki seizes the jewel, Moftah recovers it from him and returns it to Hafez Kwayyes. Moftah and Ghazala's true identities are uncovered, but because they returned the jewel to Hafez, they are forgiven. Moftah is put to work as a servant, valet, and doorman for the Kwayyes family.
