Effendi (Kamsul), a songwriter, experiences bad luck. His songs are almost always rejected by record companies. One day Effendi is driven to make an agreement with his wife Arriany (Farida Arriany), that he will do all the household chores (cooking, washing, etc.), while Arriany creates songs. It turns out that Arriany's "composed" songs are accepted. In fact, they are Effendie's "fake" works. A prolonged argument arises. Their two children are out of control. Effendi's mother-in-law appears, then Effendi and Arriany make peace again, for the sake of the children.

Arman suffers a severe wound from the second military clash in December 1948 and is nursed by the village head and his daughter, Srihati. When Indonesia gains full sovereignty in 1950, he returns to Jakarta. Then Arman is carried away by the big city life. He meets Martini and later on marries the modern girl. When Srihati goes to the city to find him, she is disappointed. But later she meets Kasim. At that time, Arman is having gambling problems and he is sent to prison due to embezzlement. After he finishes his prison sentence, he tries to find Srihati at the village but she is already married to Kasim. So Arman becomes the dust of revolution, blown by the wind to nothingness.
