Summary

In the ancient East Java, two kingdoms, Jangala and Kadiri, sought peace through a marriage alliance between Panji Asmara Bangun and Dewi Sakartaji. When war struck, Dewi Sakartaji disguised herself as Clinting Kuning and endured hardships with a widow's family. After Jangala's victory, Panji, unaware of her true identity, sought his bride. A magical encounter with a crane and a test of character involving a giant crab, Yuyu Kangkang, led to their reunion. Clinting Kuning's purity and Panji's determination overcame all obstacles, culminating in a joyous and everlasting union.
