Sultan Mahmuds officers and Dinda, the princess he had been engaged to, are confused with the Sultans sudden change of attitude. Dindas brother, Laksamana Zainol, is especially angry on his sisters behalf. Zainol, propelled by his sisters betrayal, begins talking to the Malaccan people of Sultan Mahmuds foolishness, planting the seeds of rebellion.Sultan Mahmud commands the Bendahara to seek the Puteri of Gunung Ledang out, but he claims the task to be impossible. The elderly Hang Tuah, greatest of all Malaccan warriors, offers to find the princess for the Sultan. He forms a party of warriors and they set out to Mount Ledang to find her and present the Sultans proposal of marriage. They travel a great distance and have to overcome many obstacles. Hang Tuah himself becomes injured and is too weak to reach the peak, so he sends the younger members of the group onward without him. A single young warrior named Tun Mamat survives to reach the peak, where he is tempted by a flower fairy who tries to seduce him off his path. Tun Mamat repeatedly spurns the flower fairy and, upon beating her test, meets an elderly hag or Nenek Kebayan who agrees to help lead him to the peak of Mount Ledang. ........
