When Anand and an anguished JK spot bandits looting gold; they gun them down taking over the bounty. Anand tricks JK and hides the same arousing JK's wrath who captures him for its information though not before he has tracked down his loyal servant Dinu too thus forcefully displacing Anand's family to Mumbai. A young Raju takes to the Robin Hood life to bring up his master's family he considers his own. He seldom encounters thugs whom he hoodwinks along with his accomplice Bantu. Raju and Jk's daughter Mini fall in love, while Suraj and Chandar are driven to corruption under Jk; a self styled big thug. Suraj wishes to forcefully marry Mini. Meanwhile Laxmi discovers Raju's short cut ways and abandons him though Raju's repentance brings his mother and sister back though later his sister gets victimised. Raju avenges but an unjust catastrophe befalls. Jk is an over protective father but bewilders Rakesh by the truth that he has bought up niece Mini in the lust for going from rags to riches. How Raju and JK connect dramatically to their destinies mysteriously over an old Anand forms the climax of the film.
