Chandramohan Azad (Jeetendra) is an employee and union leader. His zeal and hard work is detested by some of his co-workers and his employer, Sinha (Pincho Kapoor). He is framed for the murder of a union co-worker and sentenced to several years in jail. After his release, he finds out that his brother-in-law Deshbandhu (Utpal Dutt) is an MLA, and his sister (Seema Deo) is happy with the way things are. Chandramohan's right to assert what is true and right is thwarted by every attempt by a corrupt society and law enforcement officers. Will Chandramohan continue to fight inequality, or will he defeat himself in part of the system he is fighting against now?
