The next day, however, Shantidas passes away and Rajkumar notifies the Police of foul play, but they refuse to believe him. Rajkumar has a glove that was in his deceased father's hand and with this he sets out to find his father's killers, not realizing that this will take him from Delhi, them to Bikaner and thereafter into a desert where his efforts will be interrupted by an assorted group of gangsters, city folk, and gypsies on the hunt for an elusive treasure that is hidden in a mountainous cave.
