Jimmy and Johnny are small-time crooks who dream of becoming rich. They are in jail, where they regularly end up for their misdeeds. A hotel manager, Ballu, embezzles his company's 300,000,000 rupees. Johny and Jimmy come to know about it and plan to blackmail him. They join the hotel as waiters and are waiting for the perfect opportunity. But a terrible mobster trio kills Ballu. When Johny and Jimmy find Ballu dead, they take his body and present him as alive. They keep doing it until they find the real culprit. Johnny meets Ballu's niece, Puja, and Jimmy meets her friend. They all fall in love, and once they find the real culprit, a corpse, and a map to direct the money, they all go on a chase to find the money, with the three mobsters after them also heading for the money. They arrive, only to find the mobsters have already been there and taken the money. They reach the mobsters' hideouts and take the money. The three then come to meet Jimmy and Johny, and since they do not give them the money, the three kidnap Puja. Jimmy and Johnny go to rescue her by giving the money to the mobsters. There is a brawl, and, eventually, the police enter. The three mobsters are arrested, Johny and Puja marry, as are Jimmy and Puja's friends, and live a happy and clean life with her uncle's money.
