Premchand, an idealistic newspaper editor, is in love with Asha, an orphan he raised. Asha, however, falls for Puran, Premchand's radical star reporter. When Premchand compromises his journalistic ideals by making a deal with a corrupt businessman, Puran, true to his principles, quits and starts his own newspaper, "Naya Sansar." This act prompts Premchand to realize his error, return to his progressive stance, and ultimately bless the union of Asha and Puran.
