David D'Mello (Parikshat Sahni) lives a middle-classed lifestyle in Bangalore along with his wife, Mary (Sharmila Tagore) and a son, Bunty and is a jockey in the Bangalore Turf Club. He has a run-in with a wealthy stud farm owner, Gomango (Ranjeet), who kills him. David's death also kills his widower friend, Balram (Amjad Khan), compelling his son, Bheema, to move in with Mary.

She gives birth to a daughter and makes a living sewing and stitching clothes, while Bunty and Bheema wash cars and do small chores. Years later both Bheema (also Amjad Khan) and Bunty (Kumar Gaurav) have grown up, work on a stud farm, and look after a pony, Sikander. Bunty is in love with Jenny (Rati Agnihotri) and wants to marry her, but her dad, William (Shammi Kapoor), will only give his blessings after Bunty accumulates some wealth.

In order to get wealthy quickly both Bheema and Bunty decide to rob Gomango and set off a chain of events that will endanger and change their lives forever.
