EL-HALFOOT

The porter (Arafa) suffers from sexual deprivation. He marries the infamous widow (Warda) but his work efficiency is reduced due to frequent sleep with his wife. Morsi arrives in the town and meets Arafa and his friend, the railway worker, Dasouki, to ask them about the bully Asran. They know that Morsi was commissioned by the wealthy Kilani to hire Asran To kill the contractor Fuad Minawi. Arafa claims that he is Asran and receives 2,000 pounds as a down payment to complete the process. Morsi discovers the trick and a battle between Arafa and Asran breaks out. Asran gets killed, but the medical report confirms that Asran died of a heart attack.
