Overview
Kubilay is a young teacher. He has come to the district of Menemen in Izmir as a second lieutenant to do his military service. Dervish Mehmet, who proclaims himself the Mahdi, and his men, guided by Sheikh Esat and Laz Ibrahim, go to Manisa to start a new uprising. On their way to Manisa, Çakır Ramazan escapes from the group. Thinking that he will report them, Derviş Mehmet decides to start the uprising in Menemen. Upon hearing this, Ragıp Bey asks Kubilay, who knows the people of Menemen, to look into the matter.
