Inspector Shankar is assigned to investigate the mysterious death of Sunder Singh, whose ship wrecks on a stormy night.

Sunder was off to marry Sheila, the daughter of his mother's childhood friend who had long since died.

Sheila was raised by her father, who dies of a heart attack when he learns of Sunder's death.

Sunder's face-burnt body is found and the mystery continues whether his death was an accident or a murder.

The music is composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and the songs are written by Raja Mehdi Ali Khan and Anand Bakshi.
