When beautiful Ema is born, her father, Nkumbe, is overjoyed. Two of his friends, Ahetug and Esokang, both recent fathers of sons, ask for Emaas hand in marriage. Nkumbe promises his daughter to both menas sons. Later, he realizes heas created quite a problem for his daughter. As the situation is dilemmatic to Nkumbe and his daughter, so is it embarrassing to Esokang and Ahetug. Bitterness emanates from both households. When Sume, his son and a great hunter, returns from the forest with a panther, Nkumbe organizes a dance. Both are excellent dancers, but Ema, whose father has given instructions, chooses Esokang. Farfetched stories indicate there had been a slave in Ahetugas background. This declaration is annoying and humiliating and thus leads to Ahetug creating his own village. This opens the door for the colonial master to penetrate the region. Nkumbe stands against the clamor for change and decides to join his ancestors.
