Plot
In 1967, an old prison in the south was evacuated due to its proximity to the city's developing airport. Major Nemat Jahed, the head of the prison, is transferring the prisoners to the new prison with his officers, and the major himself and his men are scheduled to leave the prison by evening. Colonel Modaber, who is superior to Jahed, goes to him in prison and says that Jahed has been promoted and is going to be his own successor. Jahed, happy to hear the news, finds out during a phone call that one of the prisoners, Ahmed, nicknamed the Indian, was not with the other prisoners. Subsequent investigations assure Jahed that the Indian is in prison and hiding somewhere. At the same time, a prison warden named Susan Karimi came to see Jahed and told him that the Indian sentence had changed suspiciously from imprisonment to death. Jahed, who sees his promotion in jeopardy, searches the entire prison with his troops to find the Indians. Meanwhile, Jahed falls in love with one of the girls who helps the prisoners
