Korban Fitnah

(title translation: Defamation Victim)

Husein is brought to trial after trying to commit suicide. He refuses to give an explanation until he is forced to. Then he begins his story. Husein enters university with help from his unmarried brother, Hasan, who dedicates his life for Husein and his sister Munah who has a heart ailment. But when Hasan meets Rahimah, Husein’s friend, Wahab, gets jealous as he considers her as his girlfriend. Wahab is very bitter about this and swears revenge. At Munah’s urging, Hasan marries Rahimah. Their happiness is short-lived since Wahab starts to woo Rahimah. After Husein punches Wahab, the latter starts spreading slander. He tells Hasan that Husein is sleeping with Rahimah. Jealousy and rage start to build up and Husein and the pregnant Rahimah are thrown out of the house.

Munah then sents a letter to Adi, Rahimah’s uncle, who makes Hasan realise what is really happening. He finds Wahab and after beating him, Wahab confesses everything. Unfortunately, a car hits Hasan, and he becomes blind. When Rahimah learns of this, she visits him at the hospital. Rahimah willingly sacrifices her eyes for her husband, but the doctor refuses. He is only allowed to do the procedure from a dead person. Husein, who has just arrived at the hospital, overhears the conversation and decides to commit suicide for the sake of his brother. He writes a letter to the doctor to take his eyes after he’s dead. After hearing the whole story, the judge sets Husein free.
