Lata (Devika Rani), daughter of a dancing girl, is brought up by socialworker Mathuradas (Prasad) and is engaged to marry the rich Ranjit (Ashok Kumar) when the villain Chand (S.N. Tripathi) arrives to blackmail her with her undisclosed ancestry. Lata is forced to disclose the truth to Ranjit and the assembled wedding guests. Ranjit, blinded by an explosion, is nursed back to health by a devoted woman who turns out to be his wife.
