Meranti is a successful and well-liked panglima (commander) in the court of the Raja (king). He becomes the target of a conspiracy amid an attempted coup instigated by the Perdana Menteri (Prime Minister) and the Tok Pawang (royal bomoh). Being put to torture and banished to a distant islet, Meranti is rescued by a mullah and his followers. Determined to seek vindication, he receives advice from the mullah and challenges the Perdana Menteri, who has usurped the Raja’s power.

“A thundering adventure of a warrior who destroyed his enemies and changed the pattern of a whole kingdom.” (Movie advertisement of ‘Taqdir’ in The Straits Times, 30 October 1965, page 6.)
