Attention Please is a recent Egyptian movie about a university professor named Galal. Antar, a garbage collector with a donkey cart, mistakes Galal's sister for a servant girl and asks their father for her hand. Antar will inherit the concession for a large garbage district upon his father's death and have an income of £E600 a month; he is already becoming rich selling recycled garbage and making shady deals. The father refuses the marriage offer. Galal himself searches long and hard for a flat with his fiancée Aida, and they finally find one in a building owned by Antar. Antar has a flashy car, and he takes them to the villa where he lives with his wife and four children. Galal refuses Antar's demand of £E5,000 key money because it is illegal, then checks with the publisher of his five academic books and discovers they have brought him only £E200. He refuses the publisher's offer of a large commission for writing pornography instead.

Worn down, Galal bends his principles, and somehow he comes up with the key money for Antar, who takes him and Aida to a nightclub and throws away the entire sum on a belly dancer. Galal gets drunk and argues with Aida, who decides to marry Antar for his money.
