Atata is an elderly woman who is always causing trouble for herself and everyone around her. When she ends up in jail, she quickly lands herself on the warden's bad side by instigating problems with the inmates. The warden's daughter suffers from autism and the only thing that helps her is meeting with Atata and recounting stories about her past.
As Atata is put on trial for fraud, she goes against her lawyer's instructions in court, which gets her a 3-year sentence. One of her fellow inmates promises to take Atata with her during her escape from the prisoner transport car, but Atata manages to break out on her own after deceiving the guard.
The prison warden, Abbas, calls Dr. Isma'il to go check on the former's granddaughter, Lamis. The real culprits of the crime Atata went down for, Samir and Sha'ban, try to contact her lawyer to ensure they won't be convicted if the investigation is reopened.
As Lamis's psychological condition continues to grow worse, her grandfather suggests that she accompany him to the prison. Atata tells one of the inmates about her grandson whose dying father told him about a treasure. As Lamis befriends Atata, her psychologist sees a viable treatment opportunity.
Abbas bargains with Atata to help her prove her innocence in exchange for her help with Lamis. Abbas arranges for Atata to go into solitary confinement to bring her to his house. Atata tells Lamis about Al-Lemby who went looking for a treasure whose location was only known to his late father.
Atata continues to tell Lamis about Al-Lemby's search for the treasure and how he and his sweetheart Nousa tore down a wall in his father's basement to find a door. When he opens it, his father's creditors grab Nousa. When Al-Lemby closes the door, he finds himself in the desert in ancient times.
Concerned about Atata's influence on Lamis, Abbas installs security cameras all over the villa. Atata continues the story of Al-Lemby, who confirms that he is in the past, at a time where the Quraysh tribe is in control of the region.
As Al-Lemby tries to buy a slave called Hend, he is enslaved himself and sold after people discover that he is not a master of the Quraysh tribe. Atata hides some food in preparation for her return to prison, which makes Abbas suspect that she is a jewelry thief until he learns the truth.
As one of the Quraysh masters tries to forcibly kiss Hend, Al-Lemby hits him on the head. As Al-Lemby becomes known for his strength and beautiful poems, Kulayba persists in trying to buy him. When he evades her, she convinces the rest of the masters to send Al-Lemby to get rid of a bandit.
Nousa visits Atata in prison and points fingers at Farouk, who is one of the real culprits. Al-Lemby is set free to kill the bandit, Al-Ashram. While he manages to track Al-Ashram down, he refuses to kill him and instead seizes his ring as proof that he killed him.
Nousa asks Atata's lawyer to file an appeal on her behalf. Atata continues the story of Al-Lemby, who won his freedom after he put an end to the reign of terror of Al-Ashram. As Al-Lemby proposes to Hend and finds the treasure, some of the Quraysh masters plot to go after him.
Atata recounts Al-Lemby and Hend's wedding ceremony. When Al-Lemby makes fun of and insults the idol statues that Hend's uncle is selling, the Quraysh masters sentence the latter to death and exile the former. They plot against Al-Lemby, whom they think knows where the treasure is.
Hend's uncle informs Al-Lemby about the location of the door that leads to the treasure. As he and Hend attempt to escape in disguise, the Quraysh masters discover their plot and capture Hend. Al-Lemby opens the door to the treasure, only to end up in another time.
With Al-Lemby now in British-colonized Egypt, he stumbles upon an execution row for villagers who were sentenced to death for rebelling against the British. As Al-Lemby clashes with an officer, he inspires a rebellion that sends the British running. Al-Lemby sees Fathia, who looks like Hend.
Dr. Isma'il is thrilled with Atata's influence on Lamis's condition. Atata tells Lamis about how Al-Lemby was chosen as a village chief after the British were sent running. Fathia leads Al-Lemby to a guy who knows where the treasure is.
One of the prisoners tries to poison Atata. Al-Lemby is beaten and thrown on the street after he tries to go up to Harisa's room in an attempt to find the treasure. Al-Lemby decides to wed Fathia to gain access to the mayor's house and Harisa's room.
As Atata is released from the hospital, she continues the story of Al-Lemby, who gets married to Fathia. Atata returns to prison where she finds that another inmate has imposed her authority on everyone else. Atata refuses to fall in line and hits her on the head.
The mayor forces Al-Lemby to divorce Fathia so the former could marry her. As the mayor's first wife, Moktadera, forces him to spend his wedding night with her instead, Al-Lemby hides under Fathia's bed and spends the night with her. Fathia runs away with Al-Lemby, causing a scandal for the mayor.
In an attempt to punish the townspeople, the furious mayor cuts the water off to let both the crops and the people die. Al-Lemby tries to mount a revolution against the mayor, but it soon fails. The mayor kills Harisa but he manages to point to the treasure key before he dies.
Al-Lemby is transported to another era. As he proves his swordsmanship, he climbs the ranks until he becomes the leader of the prince's armies. The prince asks his fiance, Shah, to seduce Al-Lemby, who is only concerned with finding his grandfather Harisa.
Some of the inmates harass Atata. Sha'ban searches for his servant who has a video proving Sha'ban's complicity in Atata's case. Shah and Al-Lemby find Harisa and locate the treasure, but Shah is arrested before she could walk through the door with Al-Lemby.
Sha'ban's servant gets in a car accident. When Al-Lemby is transported to 1952, he soon gets accused of being responsible for the Cairo Fire. As he is framed for the disastrous event, he successfully manages to escape.
Awatef tells Atata about how her son was beaten and had his Tuk-Tuk stolen. Al-Lemby joins the freedom fighters who demand that he become a suicide bomber. After he accidentally bombs the freedom fighters, he runs away and gets hit by Engy's car. Engy takes him home, and her brother shoots him.
Abbas tries to find evidence to prove Atata's innocence. Abbas' maid is upset that her son had to sign a promissory note to cover the cost of the stolen Tuk-Tuk. Engy decides to wed Al-Lemby, which incurs the wrath of her sweetheart, Ali, who plants a snake in Al-Lemby's bed.
Ali unsuccessfully tries to kill Al-Lemby, until the latter confesses that he does not love Engy. Al-Lemby locates Harisa and heads to his location after stealing Engy's brother's gun.
Abbas looks for the inmate Laila, who is married to the real culprit in Atata's case. Atata pretends to be a Jinn to help Abbas's maid shake off the guy threatening her with her son's promissory note. Al-Lemby is transported to the era of Shajar Al-Durr.
With Al-Lemby in the era of Shajar Al-Durr, who is known as Shajar Al-Rozz in her tale, he manages to wed her after the death of Prince Qamaraddin Khoushaf. At the wedding, he takes notice of a dancer who carries his family's mark on her arm.
Shajar Al-Rozz and Prince Tubar try to frame Al-Lemby for the murder of Qamaraddin Khoushaf. Harisa exposes their plot and asserts that Zeinat must be declared as the crown princess. Al-Lemby has Tubar arrested and exposes Shajar Al-Rozz in front of everyone.
Abbas finds the video that Saleh recorded of Sha'ban and Samir. When Abbas confronts Laila with the video, she confesses everything. Al-Lemby passes the gate to be transported to Alexandria, where he is accused of burning a ship.
Abbas interrogates Samir who confesses to his and Sha'ban's crime. Al-Lemby discovers that he is in the era of Raya and Sakina. He manages to save Anouma as the police arrest the murderous gang. Anouma introduces Al-Lemby to her father, who agrees to lead him to Harisa if he weds Anouma.
When Al-Lemby is finally transported back to his own time, he weds his sweetheart Nousa. Atata is acquitted after Sha'ban, Samir, and Laila are proven guilty. Atata falls down the stairs and breaks her arm and leg, prompting her to stay with Lamis till she recovers.
