The black-and-white film, now likely lost, follows a young man who tries to give a woman's soul to a shaman as payment for being made handsome.

[3] It was written by Ferry Kock (who also starred), a former stage actor with the touring troupe Dardanella who had made his film debut in 1940 with Rentjong Atjeh.

Open to audiences aged 17 and older, it was advertised as "a film of black magic (guna-guna), action, and romance".

[a][6] A review in the Surabaya-based Soerabaijasch Handelsblad stated that the film was "in every way successful",[b] particularly praising Kock's performance.

The American visual anthropologist Karl G. Heider writes that all Indonesian films from before 1950 are lost.
