In spite of his dislike, Raja Sahib had to keep mum because of his wife’s hold and control over the money. Raja sahib’s young niece Leela was compelled to return to Khandala from Bombay, ceasing her further college studies, because of the denial of further monetary help from rani Sahiba, Leela's lover, a jobless young man ram, pushed an attractive advertisement for chances to make money, which came to the sight of raja Ramdas, the brother of Leela, inspired by the advertisement, he maneuvered to leave for Bombay with his uncle to bring two big saints from Jogeshwari. In Bombay Raja, saheb went to a carnival and Ramdas fell in love with a C.I.D. girl Kanan who was following the said two big saints of Jogeshwari.
