The honest farmer Boloram (Nayan) has his newly made plough stolen by the local moneylender (Bania). Boloram had promised it to someone else and his honour is at stake. Told mainly as a reformist fable, attaching the plough with symbolic overtones, the film inaugurates Hazarika’s now well known style of realist melodrama (cf. Meemanxa, 1994).
