Ichaton's father employs Ibothoi as his driver, recognising his honest nature. The latter even agrees to make Ibothoi his son-in-law and heir to his property. This is in sharp contrast to Ichaton, who is in love with Diamond. Ibothoi and Ichaton get married, but Ibothoi is ill-treated by his wife. He tries to hide this from his in-laws. However, when he loses all courage, Ibothoi leaves their house. Meanwhile, Diamond turns out to be ill-mannered. Ichaton realises Ibothoi's true nature and starts searching for him.
