Jibananda (K. L. Saigal) a selfish young criminally-minded man marries the rich Alaknanda (Chandra) for her money. With her help he changes and starts loving her. But his criminal activities catch up with him and he has to escape from the police leaving his wife behind. Several years pass and he returns as a rich aristocrat. The Pujarin (priestess) of the local temple, who unbeknownst to Jibananda, is his wife, gets into a conflict with him as she does not approve of his high-handed ways with the local people. He realises who the priestess is and reforms his ways, finally uniting with his wife.
The music direction was by Timir Baran and lyrics by Kidar Sharma.[5] The popular K. L. song from this film Piye Ja Aur Piye Ja is said to have been recorded without any rehearsal.[6] The composition for the music was a mix of Western orchestra with waltz and use of Raag Khamaj. The song seemed a foreshadowing of Saigal's life and "enchanted listeners".[7][8]
