The grandfather sends her to the palace to stay with her paternal grandfather, the King (Bipin Gupta). The King comes to love Amber, and she grows up (Nargis) surrounded by love and luxury. However, she is let known through palace intrigue that her grandfather, the King, had got her father killed. She decides to avenge her father's death by killing her grandfather. Ambar, on one of her outings, meets Raj ([[Raj Kapoor]]), and the two fall in love. Raj turns out to be a bandit, but his father is a loyal server to the king. Raj's father fears that someone is going to harm the king, so he sends Raj to the palace. Raj arrives there pretending to be a teacher.<br />

The King's minister, Diwanji (Ramesh Sinha) and his son Johar (Nayampally), are also plotting to kill the King and take over the kingdom. Raj, meanwhile, starts suspecting Amber of harbouring murderous intentions towards her grandfather. One night, intent on killing the King, Amber goes to his chambers. The Diwanji is already there with plans to kill the King, too; the ensuing chaos brings everyone to the royal chambers, and Amber is caught. Raj gathers an army and saves the King and Amber.
