Inspector Shiv Nath is an honest and diligent police officer in Bombay, and lives with his wife, Radha, and a young son, Arjun. While making several arrests in connection with counterfeit money and drugs, he discovers that his close friend, Karamchand is also involved in this racket. Before he could take any action, he himself is arrested by the police for possession of counterfeit money and drugs, and sentenced to a jail term, but he escapes. Radha loses her mind and is institutionalized, while Arjun takes to petty crime and on reaching adulthood is the Don of the area known and feared as "Dus Numbri". He meets with and falls in love with a petty thief and card-sharp, Rosemary Fernandes.
