 The poet Prasad (K. Date) lives far from the city in a forest, enjoying only the company of his wife Pratibha (Khote). The court poet Kaveeshwar (Phatak) of a neighbouring kingdom discovers Prasad s poetry and, more importantly, his beautiful wife, and invites them to his palace, promising fame and glory. Against Pratibha s advice, Prasad succumbs to temptation, only to see his work plagiarized and his wife harassed.
