The story concerns a husband who was complaining about his wife that she was running about with other men. He questions his son about the matter and blames his unfaithful wife for several misfortunes which befell,him, such as a pot of paint falling on him and his children dying. " She has shaved off her hair to make herself beautiful." The Nkacece was at one time a dance at which everybody came well-dressed for the party. He infers that although his wife 'dolled' herself up to look nice, she was still worthless. Sketch with song and clapping.
