Jaim (Benyamin S) and Rais (Mansjur Sjah) were neighbors and worked in a sawmill. However, these two men always quarreled and fought. His son and wife also joined in. Because of their quarrels, Jaim and Rais were expelled from their jobs. Jaim became a duck salad vendor, while Rais' wife became a herbalist. The constant bickering of these two poor families (the role of the creditors in Jaim's family life is also depicted) culminates in their house catching fire. And Mr. RT (A. Hamid Arief), who happens to be the committee for the departure of transmigrants to Lampung, sends them to the transmigration area.
