Plot
During the investigation of the political assassination of labor leader Acharya, Mr. David, the chief of the Secret Services becomes aware of a dangerous organisation working against the national interest. He deputises a promising young officer of his department, Gopal, to inquire into the activities of the gang and establish the identity of its leader.
While Gopal sets out to take down the gang, he falls victim to their vicious plot. Gopal is accused of the murder of Bindu, the dancer at Eagle nightclub and thus has to go underground to save himself from the police. But, Gopal uses this opportunity to infiltrate the gang as a trusted member and unmask the criminal mastermind, and he becomes entangled in a web of deceit and double-crossing.
