This is the story of three couples. First couple is that of Tripathi (Sanjeev Kumar)who always takes advantage of other's mistakes and position and earn money and his wife Mary. Second one is that of Geeta (Shabana Azmi) and romeo Vinod (Vinod Mehra) while the jealous and possessive Shobha (Moushumi Chatterjee) and Vicky Kapoor (Jeetendra) forms the third one.
The first couple is happily married one. The second couple stays with Vinod's mother (Kamini Kaushal). Vinod spends lot of time with Leena (Prema Narayan) and attending late night parties while Geeta patiently awaits husband every night. Once Shobha happens to see Vicky with Radha (Tanuja), assumes they have an affair and pesters Vicky about it. When Vicky defers her, she leaves him. On the other hand Vinod decides to leave house, but destiny plays its role. He meets with an accident and during his recovery period Shabana proves how important she is for him. He repents and completely changes into a new soft-spoken and good man. On the other hand, Shobha spoils her own house to such a stage that Vicky is compelled to leave his house after Radha's tragic death. At this juncture, Tripathi steps in to mend the couple. Some of the events that follow is a hilarious sequence. Whether Tripathi is successful in mending these couples forms the rest of the story.
