After being betrayed and swindled by many people, Shankar (Raaj Kumar) becomes bitter. He takes the path of crime which he says will yield what he wants swiftly, money. His wife, Durga (Mala Sinha) is a very religious and pious woman who firmly believes in the teachings of Geeta. Shankar feels that he and Durga cannot live together due to their very different views on life. Hence, he leaves the pregnant Durga along with their older son Mohan (also Raaj Kumar) and shifts to the city of Mumbai. He teaches his son to steal and rob people. The father-son duo commits crimes in association with Keshavlal (Ajit) and his henchman Bhiku Ghasiram (Dheeraj Kumar).
