Tophaneli Ahmet, a taxi driver, falls in love with Hülya, a woman he sees in his dreams. One day, by pure coincidence, as he and his older brother take a tour in one of the luxury cars his brother has repaired, he finds the woman of his dreams; he actually meets Hülya and falls in love with her. But Hülya is about to marry a phony who has introduced himself as a rich construction businessman. A thrilling rivalry begins between the deceitful suitor and Ahmet, the penniless lad who is truly in love with Hülya. An entertaining romantic comedy, the film gives the viewer the opportunity to see the shores and islands of Istanbul in the 1970s as well as a number of historical places such as the Sultanahmet Square and Rumeli Hisarı.
