Suddenly, Marei gets kidnapped and discovers that the gang is in it to get hold of diamonds that he had recently inherited from his family. In order to get away, he quickly decides to hide the diamonds in the heart of two watermelons only to discover one morning that Gamalat has unknowingly sold them. Will they be able to bring them back and secure their inheritance?".
