But before this invention could be made to good use of our country, some enemy force launched a massive action to retrieve it. In process they kidnapped Prof. Mehra and got away with half of the formula. They were vastly helped by their right hand man John, who looked very much like the butler, Harikishan, of the Prof. This action sparks our National Security officers into action and Raj, a master secret agent is assigned. Raj, in order to trace the history of the Prof. meets with a girl, Dolly, and takes her up as Prof. Mehra's daughter.

There the real daughter, Rekha, retaliates and puts her butler Harikishan in the joint of gangsters as John.
