Plot summary
Housemaid Maya(Nirupa Roy) accidentally kills her master while trying to resist his attempts to molest her. Hunted by the police, Maya decides to leave her son on the doors of a temple. The child is discovered by the temple priest who decides to take the child home and bring him up. Just then, a rich man (Nasir Hussain) and his wife come to the temple and pray to God for granting them a child. Hearing them, the temple priest hands over the abandoned child to them and asks them to bring him up as their own child. The couple name the child as Jaishankar. When Jaishankar grows up, he starts looking after the business of his father.
One day, Jaishankar meets and falls in love with Aarti (Astha Parekh). After successfully wooing her, he agrees to meet with her dad to discuss their marriage. On the way to her house, he ironically runs over her father, killing him instantly. Guilt-ridden, he attempts to make amends to look after Aarti, her brother, Pappu, and sister, Mala, but conceals the fact that he was responsible for their father's death. Things get worse after Aarti not only discovers the truth but also witnesses him getting intimate with a cabaret dancer, Rita. Then Jaishankar is first disowned by his father after the family finds out that he had sired a son from Rita, and then subsequently arrested by the Police for killing Rita. However, it turns out that he is saving his sister's husband Rajesh and was being blackmailed by Rita for money. In the end, it is revealed that Rita's real husband shot her for cheating other people and her greed for money.
