Shahjehan (a uncooked Rehman in one among his first releases) is approached by a Rajput chieftain, Jwala Singh, narrating the plight of his foster daughter, Ruhi (Ragini), who's blessed with unprecedented magnificence. This provides rise to a military of suitors, who bask in violence to forestall her from getting married by scaring her to-be grooms. Her magnificence, confined to 4 partitions of Jwala's haveli turns into a part of folklore, and avenue gossip, by means of the poetry of Sohail (Saigal) who by chance catches her glimpse, and falls in love along with her.
