The kingdom was led by King Raden Putra and his good consort, but the jealous concubine conspired with the royal physician to poison the consort. The consort was exiled pregnant into the forest, where she gave birth to Cindelaras. Cindelaras befriended animals and raised a rooster whose crowing revealed his identity. Cindelaras bested fighters' roosters and was invited to the palace, where his rooster revealed his parentage. The concubine's plot was exposed, and the king apologized to his consort before they reunited with Cindelaras, who later ruled wisely.
