As his interests shift from woman to women and roulette table to roulette table, sinister eyes are watching him. For they know of his riches, to obtain which they plan a fake murder on him and threaten to blackmail.

In the meantime, news is received that parents of Roopesh died in a plane crash. He rushes back home. According to his father's will, he can inherit property only if he marries an Indian girl and settles down. He settles for a marriage of convenience with his estate manager's daughter, Geeta. Sinister eyes which are still watching him want Roopesh back in Singapore immediately, otherwise his life would be in danger.

At Singapore, the swindlers lay trap in the form of wine and woman to which Roopesh easily succumbs.
