Synopsis
Nya Basar lives with her adopted son, Dicky, who failed in many business enterprises.
The last failure in his pub business, sees his mother mortgaged house being sealed by property businessman, Nicholas Soon Peck Kuay.
To make ends meet with her many debts to a loan shark Nyonya Tanjong, Nya Besar sells curry powder and cakes.
Her jobless son, Dicky whiles away his time with his "KAKIS" playing drought everyday.
Nya Besar reluctantly accepted the landlord's (Nicholas Soon Peck Kway) proposal to have the house rent arrears written off by having Dicky to be his son-in-law and working in his office.
Dicky's wife, Rita, is a mahjong-addicted girl but she managed to get along with Dicky as well as Nya Besar. This being so because Nya Besar could tolerate Rita at the same time attending to her needs.
Dicky now a part-time employee of his father-in-law is well-liked by the latter as both shared many similar interests.
On Rita's birthday, a misunderstanding occurred between Rita and her mother-in-law, Nya Besar.
A confused Nya Besar walked out of Rita to her sister's (Nya Keik) house.
After Rita's birthday lunch, she went to settle her misunderstanding with her mother-in-law at Nya Kecik's house.
What was the unsettled dispute between Rita and Nya Besar? How did Dicky and Nya Kecik help to settle the issue? - missing ?
The last scene tells us all!
