Plot
A series of mysterious burglaries takes place at the homes of four wealthy men. The burglar steals a single piece of jewellery from each house, leaving cash and other valuables untouched and a swastika as a calling card. The police suspect Tony, who is widely known in the community as a thief, but he maintains his innocence. Determined to identify the real burglar, Tony investigates and catches Sandhya stealing from one of the wealthy men.
Sandhya explains that she is reclaiming her rightful inheritance, as the four men swindled her mother out of her possessions following her father's death. Her mother is now in a mental institution. As Tony helps Sandhya recover the stolen items and expose the men, the two fall in love. Together, they succeed in bringing the four men to justice and securing their imprisonment.
Sandhya's mother recovers, while Tony and Sandhya receive short jail sentences. They promise to begin a new life together once their sentences are completed.
