Plot

Jeetendra Gupta is a reporter working in a newspaper company in Calcutta, and lives with his older widowed sister, his niece and his best-friend Chunnilal. Jeetendra exposes dangerous working conditions in a mine owned by one of his employer's crooked creditors and consequently loses his job. Jeeten is out looking for another job when he comes across Sunita, who was about to commit suicide by jumping from the same train that night after a prank played by Vikram Verma. Jeeten prevents her from jumping and they take shelter in a hut nearby. They leave for their respective homes the next day after Sunita mistakenly thinks Jeeten's name was Chunnilal. When disaster strikes at the mine (as predicted by Jeeten), Amita, managing director of the newspaper and daughter of the paper's deceased founder realized her mistake and re-employs him as the editor of the newspaper.
