Advocate R. K. Chaudhary (Jeetendra), a disciple of justice, prosecutes Shankar Singh (Shakti Kapoor) in a murder case, who is the twin brother of a dangerous gangster Jai Singh (also Shakti Kapoor) and the case is defended by Chaudhary's opponent Kailash (Kader Khan). Chaudhary wins the case and Shankar Singh is sentenced to death. Jai Singh swore to take revenge on Chaudhary when Kailash also joins him and they hang to repay. Chaudhary leads a happy family life with his ideal wife Janki (Moushumi Chatterjee), son Inspector Ramesh (Arun Govil), daughter-in-law Lata, and daughter Laxmi (Debashree Roy), a dumb girl. Parallelly, Ramu (also Jeetendra) a young & energetic guy, resembles Chaudhary, is a motor mechanic & a racer and he loves Kailash's daughter Rekha (Sridevi). Recognizing Ramu's caliber, Jai Singh & Kailash misuse him for their criminal activities which he too accepts to fulfill his life ambition of constructing a house for his mother Radha (Hema Malini), who is in prison for the crime he committed. Meanwhile, Chaudhary becomes High Court Chief Justice which evildoers couldn't abide by, so they get Laxmi married to their acolyte Gopal (Raj Kiran) to exploit Chaudhary but he stands strong even Gopal necks out Laxmi. At the same time, Kailash discovers Ramu is Justice Chaudhary's son, so they again incite him by creating Chaudhary as a deceiver of his mother and provoking Ramu against Chaudhary to take revenge. Now Ramu indicts Ramesh for a crime by changing his attire to Chaudhary and in the court, Chaudhary is compelled to sentence life imprisonment to him. Thereafter, Chaudhary starts digging into the matter when he finds out Radha is alive & Ramu is his son. Then he recalls the past, Chaudhary & Radha were love birds in college, and just before their marriage, Radha goes missing. Later he ascertains herself as dead. Hence on the advice of his Diwanji, he reconciles with life and marries Janki. At present, Chaudhary decides to affirm the truth but due to Janki's health condition, he holds back. In the meantime, Radha is released from prison. Chaudhary meets her and learns that she has intentionally left his life being aware of Janki's love when Chaudhary understands her virtue and also divulges Ramu's credulity. Then, evil-minded Jai Singh seizes Chaudhary's family even though Kailash is also double-crossed by him. Here Chaudhary gamely breaks out his play. Simultaneously, knowing the truth, Ramu realizes his mistake and goes to his father's aid. At last, both of them see the end of Papa Rao when Radha sacrifices her life to save Chaudhary. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu & Rekha.
