One day, during one secret rendezvous, Peter & Kitty accidentally overhear a conversation between a Mahesh Jetley & his paramour, where Mahesh tells her that he is soon going to bump his wife on a certain date. Peter & Kitty decide to foil this man's plans. However, there are 2 problems :- 1] They have not seen Mahesh or his paramour's face. 2] Even if they had, no one would believe their story.

To find their suspect, they devise a plan whereby they will stage an attack on each man's wife. Whoever the culprit is, will freak out & his identity will be revealed.
However, each of their attack goes awry & they get saved from being arrested each time, just by a whisker. The only positive outcome of this exercise is that they learn that each suspect is actually a man of fidelity. The lives of all the men come on track & love comes back into their lives. All the couples file a complaint in police station to find the culprit trying to break their marriage.
The Inspector(Raza Murad) investigates all the cases thoroughly & finally nails Peter & Kitty.
