Dono, Kasino and Indro (the Warkop DKI comedy trio) are waiters at a restaurant owned by the parents of Yully, the girlfriend of Kasino. They are specially hired to compete with a rival restaurant owner, Soleh, who likes to sabotage Yully's father’s restaurant. Many slapstick antics such as catching a rat that falls from the attic, start the comedy rolling. Then the journalists and the police start watching Soleh, and that finally leads to his arrest.
Dono, who is living with his two friends, Kasino and Indro and their respective girlfriends, Kristine (Kiki Fatmala) and Bella (Diana Khan), frequently feels jealous because his has no girlfriend of his own. He then goes to a shaman who gives him a mouse. Once back at their house, Dono releases the mouse and succeeds in upsetting his two friend’s lovers. Under the guise of trying to resolve the pest problem, Dono convinces them to all leave the house. In the meantime, he has arranged a tryst with a young woman he has just recently met and hopes to get to know better while he has the house to himself. However, because his friends and their girlfriends don’t understand what is really going on, all of Dono’s efforts come to naught.
The Warkop DKI team - Dono, Kasino, Indro – returns with two female friends, Winny and Anita, to manage an ugly old hotel, and transform it into a proper hotel. The managing of the hotel becomes fodder for the comedy: a female guest who turns out to be the younger sibling of the room renter; Dono who really likes rats; a dead person in the hotel; a sleepwalking guest, etc.
Dono, Kasino and Indro lose their pants while they are defecating in a public toilet at an entertainment spot. As a last resort to cover up his embarrassment, Dono steals the pants of the man in the stall next to him. As it turns out, this man is the father of three young women that Dono, Kasino and Indro start going out with. The story, which is little more than a bunch of skits wrapped up together, starts from here.
As usual, this comedy featuring Dono, Kasino and Indro is more driven by a series of comedic skits than a unified storyline. This story, built around the three comedians, also features two beautiful young women, Linda (Sally Marcelina) and Christin (Nurul Arifin), who have been talked into moving from their dormitory to stay with the trio at their house. Linda is Kasino’s girlfriend, while Christin is dating Indro. Initially this comedy depicts the three friends appearing on a television program. Then the producer, who promises them more screen time, talks them into judging a beach beauty contest, so the film setting jumps to the beach. While there, the potential beauty queens attempt to seduce the three men. Linda and Christin, who are very angry at this, plan revenge against the three friends. The film then moves to an island where a film shoot is going on.
