Leena leaves Simla for Dehra Doon. At Dehra Doon Railway station she meets a clever youngman (Sanjeev Kumar) who tells her that he is unemployed and has come to work at the station in place of his uncle who is ill. Sanjeev helps Leena to find a suitable Hotel for her stay, and Leena declares for a temporary marriage with Sanjeev on the condition that he will accompany Leena to Simla as her bridegroom and will help her to get back Leena's property from her uncle and as soon as this property is handed over to Leena Sanjeev will take Rs. 25,000/- from Leena and depart for ever from Simla.
