Synopsis
Matt Dower, deemed slightly mad by the local villagers, is concerned about the poverty-stricken village under pressure by Nukulom’s extortion. At the same time, Matt Geledek controls many men but has given his power to Munafik, after finishing his prison sentence. In his search for Nukulom, Matt Dower arrives at Matt Geledek’s hideout. He is welcomed wholeheartedly, even by Matt Geledek’s wife but not by Munafik. Matt Dower changes the bandit’s behaviour. The winery is turned into a soy sauce factory, the counterfeit money plant is turned into a printing press, and the brothel is turned into a parish. Munafik manages to get rid of Matt Dower, but he soon returns. Once more Munafik defeats Matt Dower by way of witchcraft. But when Matt Geledek arrives home, he has become a changed person. Then Munafik is crushed.
