Jaim (Benyamin S) and Rais (Mansjur Sjah) were neighbors and worked in a sawmill. However, these two men always quarreled and fought. His son and wife also joined in. Because of their quarrels, Jaim and Rais were expelled from their jobs. Jaim became a duck salad vendor, while Rais' wife became a herbalist. The constant bickering of these two poor families (the role of the creditors in Jaim's family life is also depicted) culminates in their house catching fire. And Mr. RT (A. Hamid Arief), who happens to be the committee for the departure of transmigrants to Lampung, sends them to the transmigration area.
Directed by Syamsul Fuad, Musuh Bebuyutan leans on a strong ensemble — Benyamin Sueb, Mansjur Sjah, Abdul Hamid Arief — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1974.
