When he tells his father, Pak Belalang panics and insists on returning the cows to their rightful owners.

Caught off guard, Pak Belalang fails to bluff his way through, angering the Sultan, who gives him three days to recover the items or face execution.

He insists the palace officials crawl on all fours to retrieve the chest, which amuses the Sultan when the gold is recovered.

During his appointment ceremony, the princess, Puteri Sri Bujur Sirih, fakes a fainting spell to meet Pak Belalang, and they secretly confess their love.

Soon after, the Kingdom of Masai arrives with a fleet, proposing a war of wits between their National Healer and Pak Belalang.

Badan and Nyawa, now working with the Sultan of Masai, kidnap the princess after casting a spell over the palace.
