An unfortunate incident leads ''Nganthoi'' to paint in her mind a very bad image of ''Ningthem''. The latter also judges ''Nganthoi'' giving her an obnoxious tag that have the potential to give a very wrong impression about the women of her locality in general. In due course of time, both realise that their prejudices are utterly wrong. They accept their mistakes and fall for one another. When their marriage is about to take place, ''Nganthoi'' faces another obstacle in her life. ''Ningthem'' gets to know about it and helps in solving the problem. ''Thaba's'' unrequited love for ''Ningthem'' finds solace in accepting ''Lanchenba's'' love for her.
