Wealthy Janki falls in love with poor Jaiprakash, much to the
displeasure of her parents, and ends up getting married, and living with
her husband. She subsequently gives birth to a daughter. Differences
surface between the couple, and Janki leaves Jaiprakash and moves back
in with her parents. Jaiprakash wants to see his daughter, but is
prevented by Durgaprasad, Janki's dad, so he assumes the guise of a
woman, calls himself Laxmi, and starts working as a nanny for his
daughter. Complications arise when Durgaprasad gets attracted to Laxmi
and wants to marry 'her'.
