Lola was born in Wisconsin . When she was old enough, she went to Manhattan , New York City , where she dreams of a career as a dancer. Her close friend Yussef encourages her in her endeavors, but she only has occasional engagements.

In order to earn enough money, Lola works as a postman. During a small appearance, she sees the beautiful Zack, who comes from an Egyptian family and is studying in the USA . He immediately falls in love with her, and Lola also keeps an eye on him. After he flew back to his homeland, Lola bought a ticket and followed him to Cairo .

But Lola quickly learns that Zack is going to marry a woman there that his family has chosen for him. Meanwhile, however, Lola is fascinated by the city and the people, and she stays in Egypt. From then on, she only works harder on her dream of being successful as an oriental dancer. She meets Ismahan, a successful belly dancer who has withdrawn from the public because of a scandal over a mysterious lover. At first, Ismahan refuses to help her and is skeptical, but Lola can convince her, and the two soon become close friends.

A short time later, Lola is a respected dancer. This is how the theater director Nasser Radi becomes aware of them. He hired her, and a little later she was dancing in the famous Nile Tower. During her new job, Lola learns that Nasser was Ismahan's lover. The social conventions, but also the pride of the two, prevented them from being happy.

Lola decides to help the two of them as her career progresses. She manages to reunite them before returning to New York, where she wants to teach the Americans about her way of dancing.
