The beautiful mermaid Mami Wata has fallen in love with the King Mfumu of the Bakongo Kingdom, so taken by him that she decides to leave the river from which she lives in order to seduce and proclaim her love to the King. After an evening of lovemaking Mami Wata leaves the palace to return to her river and is followed by Queen Watoma. Mami Wata sees that she is being followed and is angered that a mortal would dare to do this; she turns to find her lover's wife, Queen Watoma and curses her. She tells the Queen that her Son, the Prince of Bakongo, will be killed by a son of King Mfumu.

Queen Watoma, after hearing this dreaded curse, does all she can to avoid giving birth to a son. Ten years pass and Queen Watoma finds herself pregnant. She is greatly relieved when she gives birth to triplet girls.
