The barber Abdallah in Shiraz earns fame by reading the stars to locate a missing king’s ruby and forty chests of stolen gold. After foiling thieves and revealing guilt in a courtly intrigue, the king grants him wealth and honor as reward for his uncanny insights.
A prosperous barber in Shiras marries a vain wife who adores luxury. Jealous of Hassan the king's astrologer, she pressures Abdalla to quit barbering and take up astrology. Persisting in defiance, he yields under her threats and abandons his trade for the stars.
A fragmentary satirical write up mocks strict rules for editors printers and readers. It parodies obedience tests in a newsroom and a comical diverged tale of a Rinoceron creature and an Irish sergeant’s commands.
