Radha, as everyone soon knows in the village, is a woman with adubious past and a child, Ratan, by an earlier marriage. Shankar and Radha find themselves under pressure from all sides. The villagers resent Radha’s presence and worry that she will give them a bad name. The zamindar and his manager lust after her. Radha, determined to lead a normal existence with her husband, refuses all advances and only manages to anger Narayan Chowdhury. Poverty and harassment lead the couple to finally leave the village in search of better employment. But they leave with the hope of making a future for themselves against all odds.
