Pada suatu hari, hiduplah sebuah keluarga dipesisir pantai wilayah Sumatra. Keluarga itu mempunyai seorang anak yang diberi nama malin kundang. Karena kondisi keluarga mereka sangat memprihatinkan maka ayah malin memutuskan untuk pergi ke negeri sebrang.

Besar harapan malin dan ibunya, suatu hari nanti ayahnya pulang dengan membawa uang banyak yang nantinya dapat untuk membeli keperluan sehari hari. Setelah berbulan bulan lamanya ternyata ayah malin tidak kunjung datang, dan akhirnya pupuslah harapan malin kundang dan ibunya.

Setelah malin kundang beranjak dewasa, ia berfikir untuk mencari nafkah di negeri sebrang dengan harapan nantinya ketia kembali ke kampong halaman, ia sudah menjadi seorang yang kaya raya. Akhirnya malin kundang ikut berlayar bersama dengan seorang nahkoda kapal dagang di kampong halamannya yang sudah sukses.

Selama beradda di kapal, malin kundang banyak belajar tentang ilmu pelayaran pada anak buah kapal yang sudah berpengalaman. Malin belajar dengan tekun tentang perkapalan pada teman temannya yang lebih berpengalaman, dan akhirnya dia sangat mahir dalam hal perkapalan.

Banyak pulau sudah dikunjunginya, sampai dengan suatu hari di tengah perjalanan , tiba tiba kapal yang dinaiki malin kundang diserang oleh bajak laut. Semua barang dagangan para pedagang yang berada di kapal dirampas oleh bajak laut. Bahkan sebagian besar awak kapal dan orang yang berada di kapal tersebut dibunuh oleh para bajak laut. Malin kundang sangat beruntung dirinya tidak dibunuh oleh para bajak laut, karena ketika peristiwa itu terjadi, malin segera bersembunyi di sebuah ruang kecil yang tertutup oleh kayu.

Malin kundang terkatung katung ditengah laut, hingga akhirnya kapal yang ditumpanginya terdampar disebuah pantai. Dengan sisa tenaga yang ada, malin kundang berjalan menuju kedesa yang terdekat dari pantai. Sesampainya di desa tersebut, malin kundang ditolong oleh masyarakat di desa tersebut setelah sebelumnya menceritakan kejadian yang menimpanya. Desa tempat malin tedampar adalah desa yang sangat subur. Dengan keuletan dan kegigihannya dalam bekerja, malin lama kelamaan berhasil menjadi seorang yang kaya raya. Ia memiliki banyak kapal dagang dengan anak buah yang jumlahnya lebih dari 100 orang. Setelah menjadi kaya raya, malin kundang mempersunting seorang gadis untuk menjadi isterinya.

Setelah beberapa lama menikah, malin dan istrinya melakukan pelayaran dengan kapal yang besar dan indah disertai anak buah kapal serta pengawalnya yang banyak. Ibu malin kundang yang setiap hari menuggui anaknya, melihat kapal yang sangat indah itu, masuk ke pelabuhan. Ia melihat ada dua orang yang sedang berdiri diatas geladak kapal. Ia yakin kalau yang sedang berdiri itu adalah anaknya malin kundang beserta istrinya.

Malin kundangpun turun dari kapal. Ia disambut oleh ibunya. Setelah cukup dekat, ibunya melihat bekas luka di lengan kanan orang tersebut, semakin yakinlah ibunya bahwa yang ia dekati adalah malin kundang.” Malin kundang, anakku,  mengapa kau pergi begitu lama tanpa mengirimkan kabar?”, katanya sambil memeluk malin kundang. Tetapi kundang segera melepaskan pelukan ibunya dan mendorongnya hingga terjatuh.”wanita tidak tau diri, sembarangan saja mengaku sebagai ibuku”, kata malin kundang kepada ibunya. Malin kundang pura pura tidak mengenali ibunya, karena malu dengan ibunya yang sudah tua dan mengenakan baju compang camping.

” Wanita itu ibumu ?”, Tanya istri malin kundang.”tidak, ia hanya seorang pengemis yang pura pura mengaku sebagai ibuku agar mendapatkan hartaku” sahut malin terhadap istrinya. Mendengar pernyataan dan dilakukan semena mena oleh anaknya, ibu malin kundang sangat marah. Ia tidak menduga anaknya menjadi anak durhaka. Karena kemarahannya yang memuncak, ibu malin menengadahkan tanganya samba berkata “ oh tuhan kalau benar dia anakku, aku sumpahi dia menjadi sebuah batu.” Tidak berapa lama kemudian angin bergemuruh kencang dan badai dahsyat datang menghancurkan kapal malin kundang. Setelah itu tubuh malin kundang perlahan menjadi kaku dan lama kelamaan akhirnya berbentuk menjadi sebuah batu karang.
