Overview
Hara (Robert Syarief) does not approve of the relationships of his daughters, Rosa (Lia Waroka) and Ira (Kiki Fatmala), with Kadir (Kadir) and Doyok (Doyok Sudarmadji). However, eventually, because the persistent young men appear to be serious, Harja eventually agrees to allow Kadir and Doyok to prove that they are financially independent enough to make it on their own. The two young men then scramble to try to find a way to make some money. First, they try working in a bakery, then they gets jobs as cooks, and then at a poultry farm, etc. They fail at everything they try. A sub storyline tells about Abud (Fuad Alkhar) who is extremely eager to get married.
