Tragically, Ganga is trapped by Prem an acolyte of Dwarka Prasad. Once Kishan rescues a girl Radha and realizes that her guiltless brother Inspector Mohan is destined for the death sentence. So, to save him Kishan imprisons for petty crime, picks-up information through Mohan, and succeeds in proving his innocence when Radha falls for him. After a while, Kishan returns, shattered to perceive that Ganga is deceived and sold as a courtesan. Thus, Kishan moves in quest of her when it ends Ganga commits suicide due to loss of face. The next, enraged Kishan aims to destroy the complete racket and becomes a die-hard blackguard. He also relieves innocent women from the court area and comforts them with self-employment. Now, Kishan is almost on the verge of his target when aggravated Dwaraka Prasad charges to kill him. In tandem, Prem seizes Shanti when she accuses and affirms how his trespass surrounded him which makes him repent. Besides, Prem backstabs him and, in the combat, Dwaraka Prasad dies while guarding Kishan. At last, Kishan takes his avenge against Prem. Finally, the movie ends with Kishan establishing a women's welfare organization in the name of Ganga.
