During military service, Şaban repeatedly injures his commanding officer, Hüsamettin, and causes mishaps. He and fellow soldier Ramazan later perform as musicians at an entertainment venue, where both fall in love with Nigar, a singer of canto. By chance, the pair capture Kadırgalı Eşref, a fugitive whom Hüsamettin and his police force have been unable to catch for months. Their unexpected success leads them to become secret police officers for Nazır Pasha, Hüsamettin’s father-in-law. Their new assignment is to find Nazır Pasha’s sister’s missing diamond.
