Amar Saxena is a businessman: the Managing Director of prestigious Khaitan Fans Ltd., India. One day while leaving a board meeting, he meets a beggar named Jagmohan who calls him Rohit, and asks him to return home to his ailing wife Seema. Amar denies being Rohit, but feels sorry for him and gives him some money, which Jagmohan declines. Curious at his refusal, Amar offers to help. He visits the hospital, meets Seema, and falls in love with her. He doesn't know that Jagmohan and Seema are plainclothes police officers assigned to arrest him for the murder of his uncle, Ram Kumar Saxena. Using his wits, Amar manages to convince the Court that he is of unsound mind, and thus escapes being imprisoned but gets put in an asylum, where he takes stock of his life and tries to figure out who has framed him for a murder he didn't commit and why Seema and Jagmohan were so intent to incriminate him.
