Plot edit

Shobha (Zeenat Aman) marries a Canada-based big wealthy businessman Ashok Saxena (Shreeram Lagoo) almost twice her age. On the wedding night, Ashok dies by falling out of his balcony.

Sunil Kapoor (Raj Babbar) and his associate get involved in an investigation due to the one million dollars insurance policy of Ashok. His death seems mysterious as the autopsy report mentioned heavy alcohol was consumed by Ashok, who was known to be a complete teetotaler.

Also, Sunil's friend Shakti Kaul (Vinod Mehra) was earlier engaged to Shobha, so he flies down to Canada to meet Shobha.

Together they start an investigation to find out what caused the death of Ashok and what circumstances caused it.
