Haria lives with his widowed and elderly grandmother on a tea estate. He works there as a mahout, or elephant driver, alongside his elephant friend, Raja. After meeting and falling in love with Gulabi, a gypsy girl, the couple plans to marry. However, Gulabi also attracts the attention of Ajay, the tea estate owner's only son. When Ajay discovers Gulabi's feelings for Haria, he plots to eliminate Haria. Ajay attempts to abduct Gulabi but fails when Haria intervenes with Raja. In the ensuing struggle, Ajay shoots Raja, killing him. Enraged, Haria seeks revenge against Ajay, but Ajay's father intervenes.
