After procuring a degree in medicine, Dr. Anand returns home to Bombay to take charge of his late father, Prakash Narayan's, estate. He is bequeathed an old car and a village, Phoolnagar, and accordingly decides to re-locate there and open a dispensary. Enroute there he meets with Poonam, who escorts him to her residence, where she lives an impoverished lifestyle with her ailing widowed mother and two brothers, Tirchhe and Nandu. Anand treats her mother and is permitted to live there but does not realize that Poonam has fallen in love with him. Then Tirchhe, who disapproves of Anand, makes a deal with the Rani of Sangrampur for Rs.25,000/- to get her three-time widowed brother, Raja Sangram Singh, married to Poonam - leaving the latter no choice but to openly express her love for Anand. But he unknowingly spurns her, the marriage takes place and she re-locates to live in the palace.
