Plot Shyam has deputed his manager Ramesh to sell off his rubber estate in Singapore. While going through the old records, Ramesh finds a map revealing that there is a huge treasure on the rubber estate. He immediately writes to Shyam. But to Ramesh's surprise, neither does Shyam reply to his letters, nor does he come to Singapore. Ultimately, Shyam is contacted on the phone. But the line is cut during the conversation. Failing to understand anything, Shyam flies to Singapore. Once in Singapore, Shyam learns that Ramesh has been missing since their conversation on the phone was abruptly cut off. Shyam desperately starts searching for Ramesh. He informs the police and taps every source which could lead him to Ramesh. In his search, he meets Lata, an Indian dancer and learns that Lata's sister Shobha is infatuated with Ramesh. He starts visiting Lata's place frequently, where he meets Shivdas, uncle of Lata. One day, Lata, Shobha, Shivdas and Shyam go to the rubber estate for a picnic. At the very first opportunity, Shivdas steals the map leading to the treasure from Shyam's bag. Shobha sees this and follows Shivdas into the estate. Shyam follows too, but just to realise that Shivdas is shot by hoodlums and then the body goes missing. Just when he recovers from the shock, the hoodlums attack him.
