Salem is fed-up. He always comes last in every running race and what's worse, he must suffer the mocking taunts of Tareq and his cronies, Jameel and Jamal, as he struggles past the finish line. So, when a mysterious stranger offers to sell Salem a pair of mechanised wonder shoes, Salem is quick to hand over his money for them. The shoes are so fast that Salem can't control them, he is at their mercy, carried at top speed to where ever the shoes take him. With Mansour's help, Salem learns to master the shoes and spends his time performing heroic feats in them, racing about the city to help those in need - so much so, that they eventually break down. Salem asks Mansour to fix them for him so that he will be sure to win the next running race he enters. But Mansour is worried - won't that be cheating? Yes, it would be. There is also someone else who is not worried about breaking the rules, Tareq has managed to get a pair of the wonder shoes too.
