By Bharati’s good fortune a circus caravan is passing through and they find her inan unconscious state. She is revived. But it comes to light that she has lost her memory. The Circus people take her under their wing, name her Dolly and teacher to perform. Pratap and Panna take good care of her.
One day Navneet comes to watch a circus performance. He sees Dolly performing and is convinced that it is Bharati. He tries to blow her off along with a trolley carrying explosives, but the plan fails.
Pratap and Panna realize that if Dolly has to get back her memory a good Doctor must be consulted. Bipin goes in search of that Doctor. As always Navneet tries to foil his efforts. The other way is to get Dolly to listen to the record that she has sung just before she loses her memory. Navneet tries to destroy that record and Bipin tries desperately to retrieve it.
This is a struggle between good and evil. Will Bipin succeed? Does Bharati come out of her amnesia?
