After working as a teacher in Delhi for several years, Master Dinanath-ji decides to relocate to a small village to spend the rest of days teaching in a nearby school. His his wife and his daughter, Geeta alias Guddi, depend on his meagre teacher's salary for their survival. When one of his ex-students, Rajesh Agarwal, arrives from Delhi to look after his fruit and vegetable business, Dinanath welcomes him into his home. Shortly thereafter, Geeta and Rajesh fall in love and are married in a simple ceremony.

He hopes that she will ultimately give in and accept Geeta as her daughter-in-law. With this hope, they depart for Delhi. Two months later, Dinanath and his wife receive a letter from Geeta informing them all is well and that her mother-in-law's anger has subsided.
