Amir (Saeed Rad) is an aimless wanderer, adrift without direction and nowhere to go, who steals a car in Abadan and inadvertently kills a man in a meaningless dispute.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, his lover informs the police of his whereabouts as they pursue him. While attempting to escape, he gets shot, and his life comes to an end.
