In a house like any other, live a lawyer, his wife, their 3 sons (Naeem, Saleem and Nadeem) and their nanny Surayya. During his lifetime, the lawyer has made many enemies including the convicts he has put in jail. On a stormy night, one of those convicts, now a free man, arrives at his doorstep to seek revenge. Although the lawyer does not fear his imminent death, the convict, named Raja Daaku says he will kill off the lawyer's whole family. The lawyer's wife tries to save her husband but gets shot in the process and her husband meets the same fate. The three boys are separated in the confusion. Surayya, the nanny, runs in desperation with the only child she can save, Nadeem, and the other two boys run off by themselves. Naeem manages to board a train but Saleem is not quick enough to board the train and is left behind.
