Plot edit
The film begins with an altruistic Dr. Shivnath, detecting an orphan, Raja / Raj Kumar, who toils for his education and splits from his sibling Seeta. So, he adopts him, which is unwelcome by his wife, Janki & son, Prem. Years roll by; Raja is meritorious, whereas Prem is iniquity, and the two proceed to higher education. Here, Raja crushes a peach, Rekha. Besides, Seeta is reared under the last love of rickshaw driver Butta Singh as an elder. Later, Shivnath fixes an alliance for his daughter Sudha with Manohar, the son of stingy Bhishimber Nath, by presenting ₹50,000 (US$630).
Forthwith, Prem's lavish expenses are bankrupt and paralyzed. Next, Raja backs when Janki accuses Prem, and he quits. Sudha's splice is called off when Raja sureties Bhishimber Nath to equip the amount. Fortuitously, he discerns a match with a blind girl, Shanta, the daughter of tycoon Durga Prasad, who is ready to bestow ₹100,000 (US$1,300). Therein, Raja bedecks to it and receives the prerequisite, divulging the pathetic spot when Shanta reads his integrity. Now, Raja secretly delivers it to Bhishimber Nath and performs the nuptial. Following, Raja knits Shanta by forgoing his love. Suddenly, he is startled to witness Rekha Shanta's younger who charges for the betrayal.
Meanwhile, Raja becomes a cop assigned to snatch a mob to which Prem is also allied. Parallelly, Murali lusts on Seeta when Butta Singh revolts on him. So, he incriminates him and is apprehended by Raja. However, perceiving the actuality, he acquits him, and against the time, Murali molests Seeta. Here, Raja recognizes Seeta and pledges to straighten out the plight. In the interim, Shanta is cognizant of Raja & Rekha and adores her husband. Raja ceases the gang and reforms Murali when Bhishimber Nath charges Raja for free-handing counterfeit currency. Accordingly, Shanta arrives and affirms Raja's glory, to which Rekha listens. Startlingly, it is exposed that Bhishimber Nath is a chieftain crime wing and is seized. At last, Shanta breathes her last on Raja's lap. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Raja & Rekha.
