This offbeat mystery drama revolves around the trials and triumphs in the life of Shyamu, an orphan, who has made stealing his career. However, he undergoes a change of heart while his mentor becomes hospitalised, and decides to go straight.
Then, in a strange twist of fate, he finds himself mistaken for popular writer, Deepak, and treated with considerable respect. To his delight, he comes across an ailing Deepak, with whom he shares a striking resemblance. Deepak is ill and soon passes away, and giving in to temptation, Shyamu takes on his identity, and begins to romance the beautiful Mala.
However, a certain police inspector, Kumar, is interested in Deepak, and is convinced that the person masquerading as Deepak, is really someone else. In this ultimate cat-and-mouse-game failure for Shyamu would mean the difference between life and death. Who will be the victor?

Trivia:
Amitabh Bachchan was still struggling in the industry at the time and often wondered what it would be like to drive a Mercedes-Benz. One day after pack-up, Amitabh noticed his car was missing, and was told by Mumtaz's driver that 'Madam had left in his Fiat.' The driver then handed Amitabh the keys of her Mercedes to use for the night.
