Icang bin Japrit (Benyamin S)—nicknamed "Si Pincang" (The Lame One) because one of his legs was longer than the other—was a wealthy man in the fishing village. Sabeni (Bung Salim) resolved the issue with his leg by crafting a special shoe. Thanks to this shoe, Icang regained his self-confidence and resolved to propose to Roro Melati (Rima Melati), the daughter of Wiro Senjoyo (Suroto). However, the proposal formalities devolved into a seemingly endless verbal clash, all stemming from a dispute over a "stubborn" fishpond that both parties claimed as their own.
