Plot

[edit]

During his childhood, Ramu escapes from killing during the massacre of his parents. He grows up, haunted by the memory of this horrible night, drawing indefatigably a white horse, resulting from the chain bracelet of the mysterious killer. He also turns into a fearless and death-defying cop with an insatiable urge to get vengeance.

Later, he finds the murderer some years later on his policeman's way with the help of Usthad Abdul Rahman, an ex-owner of a cabaret who once was Ramu's enemy but now has sworn to give his life for Ramu after an initial fight, and settles the score with him.
