Although Marni also loves Kasan, Suro insists that she marry his righthand man Karnen Sukarno M. Noor instead. Karnen uses his favoured position as an excuse to torture Kasan, which drives the latter to learn how to fight with a whip.Marni escapes Karnen and hides at Kasans homes her refusal to return to Suro drives him to challenge Kasan to a duel. After a long struggle, Kasan emerges victorious and, after Marni asks him not to kill her father, he lets Suro go.
