Lust for gold and craze for power are queer elements in man's nature and no wonder that Rudrasingh falls an easy victim of these human weaknesses. Ignoring all the sentimental appeals of his devoted wife who brought up "JAISINGH" from childhood and was treating him more than her own son, Rudrasingh with the help of his commander made a plot to kill "JAISINGH", thus so achieve his evil desires.

Swash-buckling, self sacrificing "JAISINGH", left the state, only to please his cruel and greedy uncle, who had an eye on the throne.
Aimless but thoughtful "JAISINGH" entered the Magdha State. There he faced a group of robbers who had captured PADMINI - a beautiful belle, the princess of Magdha State. She was rescued by "JAISINGH" and escorted to the Palace. As the luck would have it, she fell in love with him, both were happy to find themselves into their little world known as "Lovers Paradise".
