About

Tensions between two brothers arise when one of their daughters marries a government employee. Meanwhile, when Udas' first wife dies and his childhood sweetheart rejects him, he becomes an alcoholic, characterless bohemian kind of person. One day after a quarrel, when he hears baseless and incorrect news that Padma was having an affair with the doctor, he comes to murder the doctor with a knife. In the darkness, drunken Udas killed his old mate, Padma. As a result, he was convicted and sentenced to death.
