Sandhya, a collegian, who has lost her parents and is being looked after by her Uncle. Nothing is lacking in her life except that she is the victim of a horribly disfigured face, which occasionally appears in front of Sandhya and she always gets frightened.

Sandhya comes across a young, Prabhat who falls in love with her during her treatment. One day when both of them are boating in Dall Lake, Sandhya sees the same horrible face and she screams but the face vanishes.

Doctor Prabhat asks Sandhya's Uncle for her hand, and on the Birthday night, the same face appears in front of Sandhya. She attacks with a knife on that face and kills the woman with that face. Sandhya is taken as mad.

To know Sandhya's fate please see our picture on the silver screen.
