A statue in a town’s square narrates to a journalist the story of Premshankar Sharma, a ninth-standard failure, unemployed, trouble-maker, and stutterer. Premshankar cons Mr. Pinto into buying a dilapidated flat to fund the Happy Club he presides over, much to the disapproval of his restaurateur father, Shivshankar, who wants him to marry Shakuntala Mishra. Premshankar’s life changes when he falls in love with Pinto’s adopted daughter, Jenny. Believing she loves him too, he helps her elope after her parents force her to marry wealthy Tony. Premshankar ends up in despair when he discovers Jenny’s true love is Canada-based Rahul, son of wealthy politician Pitambar Jalan.
