While delivering goods, truck driver Raghu (Jeetenda) and his side-kick Tiger help out a young man, who turns out to be a woman in disguise named Malti (Mumtaz). Raghu discovers there is a reward out for Malti's return, and takes her to claim the reward. But when he finds out that Raju, the man offering the reward, is unscrupulous, he refuses to leave Malti in Raju's care. Malti and Raghu fall in love, and get married. Malti soon gives birth to a baby girl, Banthu. Things are going well for this family, when a visit from Police Inspector Mathur turns their lives upside down. Mathur knows Raghu's criminal background and underground links, and refuses to believe that Raghu has now given up his old ways. Because of Mathur's interference, Raghu not only loses his job, but is unable to find any work. Seth Dhaniram comes to Raghu's house to claim his loan, Raghu and he get into a fight and Raghu threatens to kill him. The next day Dhaniram is brutally murdered. Inspector Mathur has evidence that links Raghu to this homicide, and will leave no stone unturned in order to arrest Raghu and send him to the gallows.
