Plot

Rajjo, a charming girl, is in love with Flight Lieutenant Jeetendra. Just before their wedding, the Indian army declares an emergency. So, Jeet pauses and moves to the battlefield. Following his departure, aerial bombardment smashes their town. Rajjo loses her family in it, who further collapses knowing Jeet's death, and re-locates to her uncle's residence. Jeet returns despaired due to a quandary and turns into a wanderer. During that time, a wise lady, Rani Saheba, shelters and appoints him as her manager. Rani Saheba is always perturbed because of her debauchery son, Thakur Uday Singh, when Jeet suggests conducting his nuptial.

Destiny makes the Rajjo as the bride, which devastates Jeet, but he quiets. The same night, Uday visits the court area, brawls with Nawab Ladan, and slays him. Freighted, he absconds, jumps into a river, and is declared dead. Suddenly, one night, Uday meets Rajjo, consummates with her, and takes an oath not to reveal his existence. As a result, Rajjo must pay a considerable price when she conceives. Here, all denounce her, accusing Jeet of discerning their previous familiarity, and the two are booted. Jeet accommodates Rajjo in a safe place and secretly shields her. Rajjo gives birth to a baby boy.

Accordingly, time chagrins also magnify. Eventually, Uday shadows his wife & son in guise. Once, spotting the close intimacy of Uday & Rajjo villagers' revolts when learning the reality, Jeet guards him and is seriously injured. Witnessing it, Uday repents, affirms the actuality, and surrenders to the police. At last, Jeet dies, and Uday is acquitted with the short-term penalty. Finally, the movie ends with Uday & Rajjo paying their gratitude to Jeet.
