There she offers to Lalchand and his G. man a gorgeous dance. All of a sudden No. 7 enter and Lalchand takes him to his private chamber. Shanti and Changoo and Mangoo slip into it very skillfully. There they hear a desperate argument between Lalchand and NO. 7 on finding that he could not claim Jyoti, atonce claims his 20,000 the sum promised to him on murdering Prakash.

Here Lalchand plays trick. He pretends giving the sum but instead of the sum or Rs. 20,000, he takes out the revolver from the safe and with its help takes from No. 7 the promissory note of Rs. 20,000.

But No. 7 is more than a match for him. He kicks the revolver and that blessed promissory note falls on the ground, they both start struggling for it.

Shanti who upto that time watches with the cat-like eyes picks the promissory note and quits the spot atonce. Both stop fighting and NO. 7 atonce runs after her to recapture that note. After a long motor chasing N. 7 fires two shots at her and she is half fainted as she is badly wounded. But she proves herself a brave girl. Though wounded she managed to reach the spot in time. She produces that blessed note before the police authority. Prakash is set free only to find poor Shanti dead in his hands. Prakash having been acquitted of the charge of murder goes in search of Jyoti in the gambling room. There he finds Lalchand threatening Jyoti to yield to his request for romance lest his beloved Prakash would be hanged. She only to save Prakash's life, agrees to his wishes.

Prakash could hardly bear this sight and he attacks him like a savage but Lalchand avoids his blows and runs away Prakash keeps on chasing him. At last both reach the top of the hill. The fight continues till Lalchand falls down from the height and ends cursed life full of sins.

Destiny once again unite two sincere lovers Prakash and Jyoti.
