[edit] Plot
Lakanpati growing old and concerned about the fate of his tribe and daughter, betrothed Urduja to Simakwel--a man the princess dislikes. One day Urduja finds Limhang, a Chinese Pirate, washed ashore while trying to flee from his enemy Wang. Urduja immediately falls for Limhang.
However, Lakanpati distrusts foreigners like Limhang. So as Simakwel. Afraid of losing the crown and Urduja, Simakwel would do anything to make the tribe hate Limhang. Eventually Limhang wins the trust of the tribe by his good deeds.
Wang finds Limhang. Simakwel conspired to surrender Limhang to Wang in exchange that Wang would not attack Tawilisi. In the end Wang still ordered his men to attack the tribe.
Urduja and her people bravely defends the tribe from the forces of Wang. Limhang escapes and with the aid of the Batyaws sends the invaders running. The invaders retreat.
Urduja ends up with Limhang.
