Shankar is a very poor boy. He buys medicine for his Sick mother by the money given by Robert, who is a notorious pick-pocketer. But his mother prefers death rather than accept the medicine bought by Roberts black-money. Shanker labours very hard & collects money, but before he could buy the medicine, some mis-guided street urchins snack has hard earned money & buy country liquor instead & enjoy themselves. The mother dies for want of medicine.

The orphaned Shankar has nobody else to fall back upon; but join Robert & his black deeds. Thus Shankar becomes a member of Roberts small family of father & daughter Rosy. Both Shankar & Rosy grow up to adolescence from childhood & it is but natural for the girl to fall for the handsome growing up boy in the house.
