== Plot == The non-religious factory owner Ayhan Bey sends his son abroad for education. Years later, the son, having renounced Islam, returns to Turkey. This leads to a falling out between Ayhan Bey and his son. At the same time, the factory owner's workers rebel and take over Ayhan Bey's property. They are incited by a Jewish worker posing as a Turkish Muslim. The ringleader, portrayed in the play as extremely malicious, ultimately incites his colleagues to murder Ayhan Bey.
