Plot

Gangaram is a talented singer who lives in a small village in Punjab. He is deeply in love with Jamuna. Despite the village knowing of their romance, Jamuna's father disapproves and tries every trick to separate them. When his efforts fail, he takes Jamuna to the city.

Undeterred, Gangaram follows, scouring the city streets for his beloved. By chance, he encounters Leela, a social worker whom he rescues from some goons. He accepts Leela as his sister and finds a place to stay. Meanwhile, Lela is in love with Satish, but Satish's greedy father opposes their union.

Satish's father, in a twist of fate, arranges his son's marriage to none other than Jamuna. Leela's social work has also earned her enemies, including a looter who is friends with Satish's father. This villain abducts Leela, but Gangaram once again comes to her rescue.

As Satish's father attempts to force the marriage with Jamuna, Gangaram devises a clever plan: he swaps the brides, ensuring Satish marries Leela. The story concludes with Gangaram winning a prize for helping to arrest the goon, and finally, Jamuna's father, perhaps seeing Gangaram's true worth, gives his blessing for Gangaram and Jamuna to marry. The end turns out to be a happing ending for both the couples - Gangaram gets Jamuna and Leela gets Satish.
