Researcher Marco (Kishore Sahu) comes to the town to visit and investigate some ancient cave sculptures, accompanied by his unhappy and neglected wife, Rosie (Waheeda Rehman). Marco had rescued Rosie from her disreputable surroundings, but treats her with contempt and forbids her from following her passion for dance.

Raju's charm, support and love come at the right time and Rosie leaves with him. She becomes a famous dancer but does not marry Raju, who manages her career. The relationship sours though and due to Marco's machinations, Raju commits forgery and goes to jail.

When Raju emerges from prison, he wanders into a village, where he is taken to be a wandering holy man. When the village faces famine, the people turn to Raju for succour and he vows to fast till it rains. His fame spreads far and the media descends on the obscure village to meet the mysterious 'holy man'. Raju had not intended to keep his word but the faith of the innocent villagers and his own conscience lead him to sacrifice his life for their sake.
