Ratih is an innocent and honest village woman. She is married to Hartomo, who considers her not a woman of his choice, as he married her at the request of his mother. Hartomo leaves for Jakarta to look for a new life while distancing himself from Ratih. Ratih and her mother-in-law follow him to Jakarta. Hartomo goes on an adventure with several women that he likes. Eventually, he is ready to marry the woman of his choice. On the other hand, Ratih has gone through soul searching and becomes a wise woman. This search leads to their meeting in a cramped house in a village area of Jakarta. Ratih has to choose either to return to Hartomo or accept Mulyono who sincerely loves her. With an intelligent reason, Ratih chooses Hartomo.
