When Ratan finds out that Sewakram has been defrauding the mill employees, he decides to form a [[Worker's union|union]], a move that is opposed by his brother Ram, who is devoted and loyal to Sewakram. Things go from bad to worse when the workers decide to go on strike, while Ram decides to throw Ratan out of the house. Word gets around that Ratan is against Sewakram, and soon he gets blacklisted.
