Plot The film begins with a young girl, Rupa (Sabina), driving her car madly around the hills of Mussoorie and stopping at "The Park Hotel" before she rushes inside and mysteriously falls to her death from the third floor, clutching something in her hand. Her death is assumed to be suicide by everyone at the hotel, including Rocky (Shammi Kapoor), a drummer, and Ruby (Helen), a dancer at The Park Hotel. One year later, Rupa's ex-fianceé, Ramesh (Prem Chopra), is shown to be trying to arrange his marriage with Rupa's grieving younger sister, Sunita (Asha Parekh), who is not as enamoured with the proposal and reveals to her friend, Meena (Laxmi Chhaya), that on the night before her fall, Rupa had written her last letter to her, confessing that she was in love with Rocky - the drummer at The Park Hotel - and implying that they had sexual relations and that she desperately needs to marry him. Sunita believes that Rocky had seduced and then jilted her sister, which led her to commit suicide, and intends to travel to Dehradun and Mussoorie and track down Rocky to avenge her sister's death.
