Pringgo, a wealthy businessman, catches his fiancée making out with another man. In a frustrated state, Pringgo has a car accident. According to the doctors who treat him, Pringgo has to undergo surgery to cure his paralysis. But he doesn’t have the courage and loses the hope to live. While he is treated in a sanatorium, Pringgo gets acquainted with Astuti, a frustrated girl. They finally get married, although in the beginning the relationship is based on pity rather than love. Mrs. Heru, Pringgo’s sister, and Mrs. Brasti, head of Pringgo’s household, oppose this marriage. Mrs. Brasti manages to harm Astuti, which is found out by Pringgo. Then Mrs. Brasti is fired. Gradually he realises how much Astuti really loves him and not for the money he has. Thus Pringgo finds his life spirit back, and has the courage to undergo surgery.
