the upmanship between an idealistic schoolmaster of the village, Tarak and Abani, a trade union leader who mixes poison in the ponds of the villagers which makes the villagers sick. He wants to get rich overnight as he discovers that there is a huge quantity of petroleum underneath Palashpur. Tarak becomes a stumbling block and hence Abani bumps off Tarak. Tarak's son Deva, the only witness to the murder, runs away, but grows up and manages to become a 'don' and a poor man's 'Robin Hood'. Surjo,an encounter specialist, is sent by the Commissioner(whose daughter is in love with Deva) to finish off Deva, but does that happen? However Abani does get bumped off before that.
