In the hills of Dehradun, a marathon cycle race is the main event at the annual inter-school sports meet. Ratan Lal of Model College, the main contender to Shekhar Malhotra, of the elite Rajput School, narrowly loses to him at the finish line. Ratan's father, Ramlal, an ex-champion himself, vows to buy Ratan an expensive new cycle so that he can compete better next year.
Ramlal saves money for Ratan's cycle from the income at his town square cafe, which Ratan also helps to run. Meanwhile, Shekhar, a rich playboy, sets his eyes on a new entrant to Queens College, Devika. He asks her out but is caught romancing her classmate, Richa. Ratan's younger brother, Sanjay, witnesses all this, and offers a ride to Devika to escape from Shekhar. He pretends to come from a wealthy family to befriend Devika, then helps her plot her revenge against Shekhar. Soon, Devika and Sanjay start going out and he starts buying her expensive gifts from his father's saved money for Ratan.
