The Virgin Butterfly Story

Zahra flees Upper Egypt for Cairo, thinking her father has killed her lover, Metwali. She sings at the garden of El-Azbakieh. That is where the manager of the Le Corssele casino hears her; thanks to him she begins her career as a diva. Later, she meets Captain Anwar, the son of Ismaïl Pacha, who falls in love with her. Then she is accused of spying for the English and of the murder of the manager of the Le Corssele casino.
