Their world was quite apart and both loved each other forgetting everything. But the human dream and happiness do not last long. The high flight of love was stopped by war. The gay birds Ramesh and Devi were soaring in the realms of love and with the War, cold reality came in stare. The bugle of call had sounded and Ramesh had joined the intelligence department pertaining to War. One day Ramesh got a photograph of a girl concerned with the fifth column activity and lo, she was Devi. Ramesh was at his wit's end. Ramesh began to suspect his own beloved and duty and love both had his due on him. Ramesh's Superior Officer asked Ramesh to get the news of activities of the photographed Girl.
