Wealthy; powerful; and influential Thakur Digvijay Singh and beautiful Naina are bethrothed and are to be married soon. But Naina has fallen in love with the son; Karan; of Thakur's employee; Balwant. When Thakur finds out about this; he instructs his men to bring in Naina alive; and Karan dead. Karan and Naina run from this community all the way to Bombay. The Thakur announces a hefty reward; and soon bounty hunters are all over Bombay looking for the hapless couple. When Balwant hears about this; he too goes to Bombay; and does locate Karan and Naina. Karan is relieved to see his dad; but his relief soon turns to disbelief; as Balwant instructs him to let go of Naina; as he himself has come as an agent of the Thakur; not as his father.
