Plot summary
Gopalakrishnan, a safecracker called Gopi, takes a valuable chain from a museum and the police start to look for him. On the run he meets Veena, who is set on stopping Felix, the man she loves, from marrying a tycoon's daughter. To shake off an inspector, Gopi slips the chain into Veena's bag, but when he goes back for it the chain is gone, and he thinks she still carries it. He follows her onto a train. Veena gets off for water and misses the train, and Gopi jumps off too, ending up in his hometown, where his elder brother beats him. There he learns that his younger sister is promised to an older, wealthy man in a match his brothers arranged, and he wants a better husband for her.
