## Plot

Bhaji Prasad is a dreadful gangster who maintains an honorable facade. His acolyte Giri is malicious and always attempts to double-cross him. Both retain two double agents, twin brothers Satyam & Narayana. Besides, Ramu's valiant inclines any risk for money. Once, he gets acquainted with a petty thief, Mutyam, and falls for her. Meanwhile, a young, charming Krishna who works as a clerk in a bank lives with his mother and loves Bhaji Prasad's niece, Lakshmi. Later, Ramu & Krishna twice meet in crazy situations and become good friends. Hereupon, Bhaji Prasad disclosed an ancient treasure secluded in the Himalayas and that an archaeologist, Haragopal, aimed its route map. Upon it, Giri, too, gains the key and plots. Just before they hit Haragopal, he safeguards the map in a Krishna bank locker. At the same time, Bhaji Prasad learns about the love affair of Krishna & Lakshmi. So, he bid Krishna for the cover when he refused. Bhaji Prasad endangers his mother, and as helpless, he heists the map. Simultaneously, Giri also plans an attack. Nevertheless, Krishna absconds and shields the map from his friend Ranga. Tragically, the blackguards slaughter Ranga, but are unable to identify the map. Right now, Krishna is indicted for the crime and sentenced. Yet, Bhaji Prasad wants to win him back, so he empowers Ramu to do the task. Thereupon, Ramu feels something dubious, relieving Krishna and hiding him secretly. Afterward, it enlightens their siblings through their mother, who has been separated long back because of a mishap. Eventually, they acquire the map, realizing that Bhaji Prasad reverts it by imperiling Lakshmi. At present, the swindlers start their journey, when as a flabbergast, Satyam & Narayana appear as a single entity, Satyanarayana, who purported knaves for his gain. Before long, Ramu & Krishna chase them in disguise as guides. After making an adventurous tour, they find the treasure. At last, Ramu & Krishna stop the baddies and hand over the treasure to the government. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Ramu & Mutyam and Krishna & Lakshmi.
