Janki is well-educated and dreams to live luxuriously while Jyoti is adapted to a simple lifestyle. Ram Babu a man of righteousness is the son of Jagath Prasad’s friend who looks after his fields. Ram Babu loves Janki but cannot gaze at her hostility and the true love of Jyoti. Parallelly, Janki maintains cordial relations with village Zamindar and his son Murli. Murli loves Janki and Zamindar moves with the proposal. By the time, Jagath Prasad fixes her alliance with Ram Babu, so, he backs him. Despite the unwillingness of Janki, Jagath Prasad coaxes her and performs the wedding. Soon, they are blessed with a baby girl Meena. Janki fails to respect her husband and is hard-hearted towards the child. Meanwhile, Zamindar passes away and Murli turns into a drunkard when he reveals to Janki his love and asks her to accompany him. Since Janki is annoyed by the penniless life she elopes with Murli which is beneath the prestige of her family. Enraged Jagath Prasad ostracizes Janki, and knits Ram Babu with Jyoti. Due to the sanctity of marriage, Janki is unable to stay with Murli. Moreover, she collapses aware of the status quo, when Murli asks her to go back and commits suicide. Years roll by, Ram Babu lives mirthfully with Jyoti. In tandem, Janki’s health declines out of contrition. Once, she is acquainted with Meena and develops intimacy. Knowing it, Jyoti berates her. Currently, Janki reaches her deathbed and aspires to see Ram Babu which he accepts. Then, she seeks forgiveness when Ram Babu affirms that he believes in her chastity and promises to carry out her last rites. At last, Janki dies and Ram Babu stands on his word despite the refusal of the villagers. Finally, the movie ends with Ram Babu & Jyoti accomplishing the funeral of Janki.
