Jamilah, a singer of a traveling troupe is a strong-minded woman who has no desire for marriage. Umar, a poverty-stricken man, trespasses her room one night with the intention to steal. Unable to escape in time when Jamilah and her colleague Ismail return home, Umar pretends to be Jamilah’s estranged husband, much to her bewilderment. Umar confesses his dire circumstances to Jamilah, and she takes pity on him. A romantic friendship develops between the titular penchuri (thief) and the film’s heroine.
