Mandala dari Sungai Ular

(title translation: Mandala from Snake River)

On his journey, Mandala reaches a village that is terrorised by the Kepala Besi (Iron Head) trio. They are looking for Laot, who has kept a book, the legacy of his teacher, Ki Banta, which they want. While attacking the robbers in the village, Mandala sees Kupra, his fellow disciple, who is accused as a robber and about to be hanged. Mandala rescues Kupra, but then they are separated. The village’s local leader is his acquaintance, Mustikaningpanas, who wants revenge on Kepala Besi. Mandala helps him but he is hurt. His faithful horse takes him home to his teacher, who is also the teacher of Kupra aka Laot. The teacher’s home is where Laot keeps the heritage book. Laot then studies the book until he masters the martial art before he burns the book as directed by Ki Banta, who has been killed by Kepala Besi. So Mandala and Laot return to find the Kepala Besi trio. In the final combat, they are assisted by Maya Saputri and Nilasari. After defeating Kepala Besi, Mandala goes back to his wandering life.
