Storyline
Prof. Saxena (
Gupta and Sunita get married. Gupta leaves for the US. After a few weeks, he sends Sunita a flight ticket to Los Angeles via New York. During the flight, a stranger plants cocaine in Sunita's vanity case but Sunita clears customs without the drugs being detected. Sunita calls her husband from New York before boarding her flight to Los Angeles. While Dr.Gupta, Saxena and Geeta wait at the Los Angeles airport, Sunita does not arrive as expected. Instead, they receive a message that Sunita has been kidnapped with a demand for ransom of $200,000.
Dr. Gupta pays the ransom but the kidnappers do not release his wife. Meanwhile, while watching a movie, Geeta spots an extra in a song sequence who resembles Sunita closely. This leads to the discovery that Sunita is really Bela, an aspiring actress, who had posed as a traditional Indian bride to be.
Saxena is determined to track down Sunita/Bela and her co-conspirators. Suspicion falls on businessman Surinder Suri (Mac Mohan) in desperate need of cash because of gambling debts. Suri admits to using Sunita as a patsy to smuggle cocaine into the country to help him recoup his losses. However, he claims to know nothing about her kidnapping. He states that the cocaine has disappeared with her and caused him severe problems with his debts. Where then is Sunita/Bela? Has she disappeared of her own accord or was she really kidnapped?[3][4]
