A librarian facing a mid-life crisis travels to Costa Rica.

The story of two young men, one a prince of royal Bali-blood and the other defined as a coolie, and they are both in love with Dasnee, a slave girl possessing the sensuous charms for which the women of Bali are known to have. The prince marries a girl of his caste and the coolie marries Dasnee, but the prince still loves Dasnee. So, with the aid of his sister---nice family---they give Desnee, while her husband is off elsewhere, a hearty dose of goona-goona and the prince spends the night having his way with Desnee. He goes home to the palace but leaves his sacred sword, known far and wide as 'Kris,' in the bed. When the husband comes home he knows who has been sleeping in and left his sacred sword in his bed. The husband sets out to right this wrong in the manner of his ancestors.
