Yusuf's efforts to approach Erna (Netty Herawati) were thwarted by the girl's father's harshness, because the young man was still unemployed. On the advice of Kosasih (Rd. Mochtar), a fake marriage was held between Erna and another young man. Because no one was available, Kosasih finally carried out the fake marriage himself. Even though Kosasih already had a girlfriend, Komariah (Titien Sumarni), who Sutisna (Darussalam) also had a crush on. In the end, "playing around became real".
