The story revolves around Babu (Dev Anand), a young man who leaves his countryside home to find work in Mumbai. He soon finds a job in a garage and makes friends with his co-worker Abdul (Jeevan) and his sister Kamini (Suchitra Sen). Babu falls in love with Kamini but is devastated to learn that she is already engaged to her boss, but she gets to know Babu better and eventually falls in love with him.
