After Prem Nath's character's father, a wealthy doctor, refuses to treat the jagirdar's injured son, the jagirdar abducts the doctor's son and raises him on his estate. The boy is subsequently drawn into a life of crime, while the jagirdar, who shelters several poor families on his land, eventually encourages him to reform and return to respectable society.
