Nyoman Karang had two beautiful daughters whom he wanted to marry. The elder, Sokasati, was promised to her cousin Tirta, with whom she was very much in love. But Tirta does not want to marry. He has been studying abroad and acquired all sort of learning. He can read and write, and is expert in lore of propitious days. He has learned to be inwardly pure; he wants to become wizard and help the mankind rather than to marry a wife. Besides if he is learned, he will have no need to seek a wife; she will come to him of herself. His father is hard to convince. He thrashed his unpractical son severely, but at last consented to believe in him if he can explain two magic syllables which rule the world. This is beyond Tirta, so he consented to marry Sokasati.

Now, Basur, a magician who is also related to Nyoman Karang, has set his heart in getting sokasati for his own crazy so Tigaron. Nyoman Karang, though terrified of Basur, refused to give Sokasati away against her will, and Basur, infuriated, tried to stir up his son to fight Tirta, but Tigaron though amorous is disinclined to fight anyone.
