Kelabang Seribu

(title translation: Thousand Centipedes)

Singa Lawe returns to his village and sees it in ruins. Then he remembers his parents’ killers. Residents are afraid to accept him, but Akuwu Ariamanik, the regent, welcomes him, though it is against the rules of the capital city that controls the village. The troops led by Boma, and his son, Banaspati, outlaws Singa Lawe. Then Singa Lawe rescues Wulan Sari, his former girlfriend, who is now a wife of Ariamanik, from a rape attempt by Banaspati. Now Singa Lawe has to deal with Banaspati and Boma. Banaspati is defeated repeatedly, until he gets powerful magic from Granny Gondrongmanis. The magic is apparently stolen from a book sought after by Nagarangsa, on his teacher’s command. After mastering the magic, Banaspati becomes greedier. He kills his own father. Soon, Singa Lawe, Nagarangsa, and Pandansih (the brother of Banaspati, who is currently dating the daughter of Ariamanik), jointly attack Banaspati and his demons. The attack is successful and Singa Lawe goes back to his life as a wanderer. However, Ariamanik rules the village cruelly.
