Desperate to get out of heavy debt, Do resorted to lying about bereavement and cheated his father-in-law out of money, losing his reputation and marriage as a result and leaving town for opportunities in the city.
After borrowing two Ringgits from his disgusted girlfriend for city fare, vicenarian Mi attempted a job as a housekeeper in a mansion only to get carried away seeing himself as the new owner, thus getting chased out by the mansion owner and eventually riding a bus looking for another job towards a labour office, where all three aforementioned men would meet for the first time.
Do, overhearing Re and mistaking Re's story as a jab on himself, took offence to it and was about to start a fight with him, but the two quickly quelled their anger in order to work together chasing after a pickpocket that had just robbed a nearby young woman.
Staying at Mi's run-down hut, the trio discussed on making a living and, funded with the earlier money reward, settled down with selling toothbrushes, the first sale of which was humorously completed with the aforementioned mansion owner.
After much hilarity with the father of the house and borrowing a guitar as well, the trio collected enough capital and funded their new venture as street performers selling snake oil that proved profitable, subsequently for the first time having money on hand, even timely repaying Mi's girlfriend, and as a self-reward going clubbing — which ended abruptly as Re walked away in disgust upon encountering his night club hostess ex-wife.
