Benyamin, a laundryman and lenong player, is a neighbor of Mimin, a widow who lives with her sister Aida. The noisy lenong practice activities often cause the two neighbors to quarrel, although they later make peace. Meanwhile, Benyamin falls in love with Ellya, an old spinster, the daughter of Mr. Hamid, the owner of the rented house where Benyamin lives. This relationship is not approved by Mr. Hamid who considers lenong players to be lowly in dignity. When Mr. Hamid begins to have a crush on Mimin, Benyamin uses this as a weapon to soften Mr. Hamid's heart.
