A singing dreamer finds buried treasure and maybe himself — classic 1940s Malayan cinema magic.
Kassim is living with his brother and sister-in-law when he finds out he is about to inherit all his family's wealth. Kassim, a young man who prefers to sing and play, is thrown out of his home by his brother and deprived of his wealth. He starts to lead a wandering life with two friends. One day, Kassim discovers pirate treasure. (This film is different from the 1952 film Anjuran Nasib, also directed by B.S. Rajhans).

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
B.S. Rajhans essentially made this twice — the 1952 remake Anjuran Nasib suggests he really loved this story.
This represents early Malay cinema's obsession with wealth fantasies during post-war economic struggle — escapism with local flavor.
