This time Ateng and friends are dressed in costumes recalling Baghdad’s sultanate. The story is similar to Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. The poor Ali Baba becomes suddenly rich after finding a treasure in a cave that actually belongs to the King of Robbers. After hearing about the treasure, Ali’s brother goes into the cave to take some but forgets the magic password and is trapped inside. When the King of Robbers arrives, he learns that Ali Baba has found out their secret. So a duel ensues between Ali Baba and the King of Robbers, and in the end the police apprehends them. Ateng and friends are hilarious and the Baghdad set and costumes bring back the nostalgia of old stage performances.
Titiek, a widowed “dangdut” singer, has adoptive children, Ateng and his older sibling, Enny. Meanwhile Eddy Sud, a widower whose collection is 90 per cent “dangdut” songs, has a daughter, Vivi, whose Ateng had relationship with. Their parents don't approve of the romance between Ateng and Vivi, so they keep their relationship a secret.
Reminiscent of the film The Sound of Music, Bing Slamet works for Eddy Sud’s family, who has many children. Bing wins their heart with his singing talent. The movie is filled with messages of tourism promotion and family planning, but there is also humour, since the Kwartet Jaya comedy group are part of the cast.
