Since he is a sole proprietor and a painter by trade, he is unable to support himself and cannot afford to pay his rent to Mrs. D'sa, his benevolent but chatty landlord. Raj discovers a wallet one day and gives it back to its owner, Ramnath. Raj is hired by Ramnath to work as a receptionist in his office because he admires him and is pleased with his honesty. Asha, Ramnath's maidservant, and Raj eventually become romantically involved. When Raj learns that Asha is actually Aarti, the daughter of his employer, everything comes to an end. Then, after alienating his employer and his daughter, he takes care of his ailing landlady by preparing and serving her meals every day. She, unfortunately, dies unexpectedly. Following a post-mortem, the police determine that MrsD'sa was poisoned. Raj was identified as the main suspect and was subsequently detained, interrogated, and placed in a cell. Later, Raj successfully executed a narrow escape plan and set out to gather proof of his innocence.
