Lal is a very helpful person and dead-set against crime. In the same city lives Vikram Singh, alias Vicky Baadshah, who is the Don of the city and is always clashing with Lal Baadshah. Vicky is the son of Dayal Singh, who lives far away from Mumbai in a castle. Vicky and his brother Ajit Singh, a corrupt police officer, want to rule the city. Meanwhile, Lal meets Kiran, an L.I.C. agent who falls in love with him and is determined to become his wife.
