Naive Saroop romantically renounces earthly pleasures under the influence of a sadhu. He is arrested at a fairground; in jail, fellow convicts change his view of the world. Working in the prison's garden, he meets Superintendent Sohanlal's daughter Durga, who was married as a child to a boy now believed dead. Nasty Ranjit covets her, and on their wedding day, it is discovered that Saroop was her child-husband.—Sujit R. Varma
