Three con men take advantage of people's gullibility to swindle them. But one day the police nab them.

"Nimra 6 is the first film directed by Salah Abu Seif. The original title was El umr wahed (There Is Only One Life), but the censors prohibited it being shown because they felt that the film debased the dignity of death. The film was then projected with the new title Nimra 6, which is what fake money is called."
