One Million Toman Check (1959)

Synopsis

A Lost Persian Film. Two millionaires make a bet on a simple young man named "Habib". One of them claims that even if Habib has money, he is still useless and will not gain value. The other claims the opposite and believes that if Habib has money, he will soon be noticed and respected. On this assumption, they give Habib a check for one million tomans for one month. Habib goes to Tehran, where some people try to take the check from him. But they fail. Habib finally returns the check to its owner at the end of a month, along with some money he has earned by crediting the check, thus proving the second millionaire's claim.
