When they grow up Vinod (Raaj Kumar) goes to the city to study while Gokul (Dutt) manages the family shop. Vinod turns bad in the city and his parents decide to leave the family property to Gokul. Vinod returns and contests the will. The battle between the stepbrothers over ‘mother’ and the will is resolved by Gokul’s other- worldly innocence which succeeds in uniting the family.
