Bhikaji, a poor daily wage laborer, lives with his beautiful wife Sarla in a small village. When Bhikaji suffers a financial crisis, he recklessly wagers Sarla in a card game and loses to the village landlord. The landlord agrees to return Sarla only if Bhikaji can arrange ₹1 lakh within ten days.
Desperate, Bhikaji seeks help from fellow villagers, but they exploit his situation and demand Sarla in return for financial support. Surrounded by greed and objectification, Sarla refuses to submit and instead devises a plan to outwit both the landlord and the villagers. Using her intelligence and resilience, she turns the tables on those who sought to take advantage of her. In the end, Sarla and Bhikaji emerge with both dignity and prosperity restored.
