Her older brother, Farman, an ex street thug who now runs a butcher-shop, decides to confront Mansour. His uncle persuades him not to exact revenge, and Farman gives up his knife. However, an enraged Farman gets into a fight with Mansour in front of Mansour's two younger brothers, Karim and Rahim. He tries to strangle him in a fury, but Karim stabs Farman to death on Rahim's orders. The brothers then take the body to some wasteland and plant a knife with it.
Qeysar, Farman's younger brother who works in Khuzestan, comes home with gifts for the family, only to find his siblings dead and his mother and uncle devastated by the events. Despite protests from his uncle, he decides take revenge, swearing to kill all three Ab-Mangol brothers one by one. He follows Karim to a public bath, stabbing him to death in a shower cubicle. He then finds Rahim working in a slaughterhouse, and murders him amid the cattle. Qeysar visits his former beloved, Azam, but realises that he must abandon love to pursue revenge.
Afraid for his life, Mansour goes into hiding, while the police pursue Qeysar. Qeysar's mother dies. This only aggravates matters, strengthening Qeysar's desire for revenge. At the funeral he eludes the police. Qeysar then learns that Mansour has a girlfriend, Soheila Ferdos, an erotic dancer and singer. Qeysar visits Soheila, and seduces her. She takes him back to her apartment. Having discovered from her Mansour's hideout, Qeysar pursues him. Mansour is laying low in a railway siding. Spotting Qeysar, he attempts to escape. Qeysar catches him and the two fight. Mansour stabs Qeysar, badly wounding him, but the police arrive and Mansour is forced to flee back towards the wounded Qeysar, who summons enough strength to kill Mansour in a final fight. Now Qeysar flees from the police, who shoot him in the leg. Badly wounded, he tries to hide in an old train carriage, but the police move in on him.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
