action

In a hotel in Mussoorie , the young Rupa falls from the third floor. The police suspect a suicide. Her younger sister, Sunita, believes a drummer named Rocky, with whom Rupa was in love, was also complicit in her death. She travels to Mussoorie to put her sister's killer behind bars.

On the way she meets Anil Kumar Sona, who gets on her nerves from the first moment. He tries to win her heart in his intrusive way. His plan almost works when he realizes that Sunita actually hates him - because he's Rocky. Even so, he continues to play his game and hides his true identity.

Now Rocky is cleared up by an inspector: Rupa did not commit suicide out of desperation, but was pushed in cold blood from the third floor. Of course, Rocky is also suspected, as well as Rupa's fiancé Ramesh and the jealous dancer Ruby, who is in love with Rocky.

After all, it becomes more and more mysterious when someone tries to kill Rocky too. After a strange woman tried to lure him on a wrong track, he threatens her with a gun and so she tells the whole truth about Rupa's death: She has started an affair with Kunwer, a very good friend of Rocky's. However, when they were caught by Kunwer's wife, he kills his wife and they both hide the body in the forest, where they were caught by Rupa, who was on the way to the hotel. So that the murder does not come to light, they now had to get Rupa out of the way.

After the confession, Kunwer comes into the room and wants to shoot Rocky. In the fight, Kunwer falls from the roof of his villa and dies.
