Plot

Mahmut paints houses with two friends. He loves a girl named Mine but cannot tell her. One day while painting, Mahmut finds a wallet. He takes the wallet to its owner, factory owner Ahmet. However, at that moment, Ahmet suffers a heart attack and dies. According to Ahmet's will, whoever Ahmet dies with will inherit all his property. Therefore, Ahmet's inheritance goes to Mahmut.

Sinekatalog’s take

A Turkish comedy about a house painter who finds a wallet, returns it to the owner who dies on the spot and leaves him a fortune. The sudden inheritance sets up classic rags-to-riches humor. Fun for fans of Yeşilçam comedies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
