Plot
After studying abroad for several years, a young doctor Anand (Dev Anand) returns home to inherit ownership of a rural village. En route to the village he encounters a girl, Poonam (Madhubala) whose mother (Leela Mishra) needs treatment. He secures lodgings in their house. A romance blossoms but the girl's impecunious gambler brother (Yakub) marries her off to King Sangram (Mazhar Khan) and the couple are parted. When Poonam falls ill, Anand as the doctor is called and their lives are imperilled by the King's suspicious sister leading to a melodramatic denouement. Many misunderstandings and tears follow with Poonam committing suicide just before Anand reaches her.
