Thakur Hansraj is a greedy man who kills his brother-in-law, gets the signature of his sister Bharati on the property papers under a false pretext and takes control of her property. Bharati's son Ganga who has taken a pledge to avenge the wrong done to his family, becomes a truck driver.
One day, a girl, Jamuna jumps into his truck to save herself from a goon. Ganga is forced to stop the truck due to a road block. When it starts raining, Ganga ends up going to a nearby lodge to take shelter, pretending he and Jamuna are a couple. The next day, when the goon returns to take Jamuna away forcibly, Ganga gets into a fight with him. Ganga is arrested for beating up the Thakur's son and jailed for two years.
When he returns, the Thakur sends his aides to kill him. A blast takes place at the bridge and Jamuna falls into the river along with her child. Ganga saves his child but cannot find Jamuna. Jamuna, who loses her memory from the fall, ends up reaching the home of singer Shankar who recognizes her from a qawwali performance she had performed and falls in love with her. Ganga takes help from another woman, Saraswati to take care of his son and she ends up falling in love with him.
The remainder of the movie deals with how Ganga and Jamuna reunite by the roles played by Saraswati and Shankar, and of course Ganga's mission to exact revenge on the Thakur uncle.
