Vinay's father gets a pleasant surprise when Vinay secures employment with a leading jeweler Vishamber Nath. Vinay also gets to meet Nath's attractive daughter, Anju (Tanuja), and the two fall in love. This is short lived when several people greet Vinay as "Amar" or "Prince Amar". Things come to a boil when a young woman named Shalini (Vyjayanthimala) comes forward and claims that Vinay is her fiancée, and the accusation is substantiated by her brother (Ashok Kumar). Vinay is able to prove to them that he is indeed Vinay, and cooperates with them to locate this elusive Amar.
