A group of snake handlers are at a reptile rescue center, where they care for various snakes, including a rescued king cobra that was previously underweight. The king cobra has been improving with proper care and feeding.
The group receives a visit from a man named Mang Kardi, who had previously brought the underweight king cobra to the rescue center. Mang Kardi informs them that there is another king cobra in his area that has been causing problems, including killing a cow. The group decides to travel to Mang Kardi's area to search for the snake.
Upon arrival, they begin searching for the snake but instead find a large king korros, a non-venomous snake that eats other snakes. They catch and release the king korros, realizing it is not the suspect they are looking for.
As the weather turns bad, the group sets up camp in the area, deciding to continue their search for the king cobra the next day. They find a snake trace in the water, which they suspect may be from a large python.
