A cautionary tale about wealth not bringing happiness. The blind Mohan lives in a village with his ward Radha. He wins a fortune with a sweep stake ticket sold to him by the tramp Ramesh, who claims his due and begins to take over Mohan`s life, making him move to the city and getting him married to Chinta, a prostitute. When Mohan`s eyesight is restored, he finds that his wife is having an affair with Ramesh. Mohan takes revenge and eventually lands up in his old village, a poor man, but with Radha still unchanged, waiting for him.
