The Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrives in Israel to play at the opening of an Arab Cultural Center. Dressed in full regalia and observing all military police protocol. The political nature of an Arab military police band playing traditional Arab music in Israel makes this event so important. The band arrives at the airport with no one there to greet them.
Stranded and unable able to contact their Israeli hosts or the Egyptian consulate for help, Tewfiq decides that the Orchestra will persevere with its assignment.
