A woman rejects her father-approved groom, runs away, and falls in love with a petty thief/gambler.

A singer and dancer par excellence, Lata lives a wealthy lifestyle with her dad, Choudhry Goverdhanlal Patwardhanlal and mom. Her parents would like her to get married to wealthy Shekhar, who she initially approves of. Shortly thereafter she meets with Vasant Kumar and both fall in love with each other. When Shekhar finds out that Lata does not want to marry him, he is enraged and starts to investigate Vasant's background. He finds out that Vasant's real name is Ashok, who is a writer for a magazine 'Bahar, has a relationship with a woman, and also has a son.

A crooked wealthy man has cheated a gullible poor woman and meanwhile an aristocratic self-possessed woman is being flirted by a responsible officer, an ideal for modern India in this "social guidance picture".
