Lo Tjin Nio

After his wife past away, Tjoa Kim Liong remarries and her daughter Loan has to live with her new step mother. Meanwhile Kim Liong is much more into gambling than taking care of his family. He delegates his business to Kian Hwat. But due to Kian Hwats dishonesty, Kim Liongs wealth falls into his lap. Later on, all of his wealth are restored thanks to the help of Goan Hin, Loans fiancé.

Mrs Roti treats her first daughter Hian Nio badly. On the other hand, she treats her other daughters, as her favorites. Hian Nio has a boyfriend, Kian Bie, who works for Bian Hong. But since Bian Hong, a widower, has feelings for Hian Nio, he fires Kian Bie in order to achieve his desire. Married to a man of wealth like Bian Hong does not make Han Nio happy, so she decides to run away while leaving her child, Gin Nio, behind. This child becomes the reason why she returns, but not long after that, she dies.

The siblings, Kim Djin and Kim Tjiang’s characters are as different as between the earth and the sky. The older of the two is lazy and spoiled by his father. On the contrary, the father, Tan Koan Liong, underestimates the hardworking and honest, Kim Tjiang. His father even throws Kim Tjiang out of the house believing in Kim Djin's slanderous gossip. But in the end, Koan Liong realizes his mistakes.
