The Diwan of a kingdom, Guman Singh, has connections with the leader of a pirate gang. Sagar and two of his friends Kanhaiya and Kanu learns of this connection from a wounded sailor. Bijli, a pub dancer, discovers this. Sagar informs the King but due to the power exerted by the Diwan who is engaged to the King's daughter, Rajakumari, he is jailed for giving false information. Rajakumari suspects Guman and visits the pirates' island in disguise. She learns the truth and tells her father about it. When the King called for Guman, he sensed the trouble and stages a coup. He imprisons the King and replaces him with a lookalike. Rajakumari is forced to dance in the pirates' ship. Sagar, who was earlier released, attacks the ship and frees Rajakumari. He then kills Guman in a sword fight and releases the real King from prison.[4]
