Mufaro is father to two beautiful daughters, Manyara and Nyasha. Nyasha is kind and considerate, while Manyara is spoiled and self-centered. When the king comes looking for a wife, Mufaro believes both daughters are worthy of such an honor, so he sends them on a journey to the city to meet the king. On the way, the two women are faced with several obstacles. The way they conduct themselves when faced with these obstacles determines their fate.
