Kalyani is the daughter of a village postmaster. When a revolutionary Bikash (Ashok Kumar) visits the village both are attracted towards each other & soon fall in love. In an attempt to save Bikashs life during a problem situation Kalyani poses as Bikashs wife. When her father learns of this he is upset as this would ruin his honour in the village. Bikash proposes to marry her, Kalyanis father agrees to the marriage. Bikash leaves the village promising to come back but he never does. Later, Kalyani is told that he has married someone else. The villagers ridicule Kalyani & her father. To avoid further insult to her father, she leaves the village & gets a job in a hospital where is given the task to take care of a particular shrewish & ill-mannered rich woman patient. When her father comes to the city in search Kalyani, he is killed in an accident. Learning of this Kalyani is very disturbed [excellent acting in this scene] & on the same day she discovers the woman she is taking care of is Bikashs wife !!! She believes that this woman is the cause of all her troubles & also of her fathers death. Kalyani poisons her & surrenders to the police.
