His daughter, Malti, is a Science graduate; Nirmala, a matriculate, and the son, Atma, who wants his father to finance a Hindi film, which he himself will produce under the banner of "Wah Wah Productions", he even signs up a nubile and sexy Meena Priyadarshini, the daughter of Ramlal's Estate Manager, to play the female lead role. Ramlal would like to get his daughters married to families that are wealthier than his. He hires an assistant manager, Ashok Verma, to look after his estate, but fires him when he learns that Ashok has misbehaved with his daughters. Ashok protests by putting up a tent in Ramlal's front-yard. Shyam, a friend of Ashok disguised as an elderly male, comes to visit Ramlal. He identifies himself as Rai Bahadur Ganga Prasad, claims he is very wealthy, and the estranged father of Ashok. Ramlal seizes this opportunity and asks Rai Bahadur to get Ashok to marry one of his daughters. Ashok and his father reconcile, and Verma decides to marry Nirmala. Then Ramlal gets another visitor, a wealthy elderly male by the name of Devraj, who knew Ramlal during his school-days. Ramlal and Devraj talk about old times, and end up fixing up the marriage of Malti with Devraj's son Shyam. Ramlal introduces Devraj to Rai Bahadur and starts preparations for both marriages – little knowing that soon he will find out that Devraj's son has gone missing, perhaps refusing to marry someone his father has chosen for him; Devraj learns that Ashok is actually the son of a poor schoolteacher and reveals to Ramlal that Rai Bahadur is a fraud, Ashok and Shyam are arrested by the police for cheating Ramlal, resulting a chaos, but finally all things and misunderstandings are cleared up and they live happily ever after.
