Brijmohan Sharma(Ashok Kumar), Manmohan Sharma(Kishore Kumar) and his brother Jagmohan Sharma(Anoop Kumar) run a garage. The eldest brother, Brijmohan hates women and doesn't allow any women or pictures of women in his garage unless its an emergency. One day while Manmohan is on the night shift, Renu(Madhubala) comes to the garage seeking help as her car breaks down. Renu gets angry at Manmohan because he is sleeping when he is supposed to be on duty. Manmohan doesn't like the fact that Renu shouts at him and initially refuses to repair her car but finally agrees. Manmohan finally repairs the car and Renu leaves for her home forgetting to pay Manmohan for his services. Manmohan tells his brother Brijmohan about this and realizes that Renu forgot her purse in the garage. Manmohan goes through the contents of it and finds a pass to a concert. Manmohan decides to go to this concert to recover his money from Renu.

Manmohan however falls asleep and Renu doesn't notice him and drives home and parks her car in her garage with Manmohan inside. When Manmohan finally gets up he gets hungry and tries to look for some food in Renu's garage. A servant in Renu's house sees this and chases Manmohan who finally manages to escape.
