Rajan, the owner of a matchbox factory called "Dove", lives in a huge house named Laxmi Bhavan. (Thus, he has a pet Dove) Rajan is a widower. Recognising that his honest employee Chander is in a similar position, he decides to help Chander financially. As Chander attends training in the U.S., Rajan suggests his secretary, Pratima, whom he has a crush on, look after Chander’s daughter Rani. Rani starts to believe Pratima to be her mother which lead to Pratima and Chander marrying, making Rajan disheartened as he wanted to marry her.
Chander suggests changing the company's structure. The traditionalist Rajan becomes infuriated. Protesting this, Chander resigns and starts his own matchbox company, Eagle, becoming the leading matchbox manufacturer. This begins Rajan's downfall, as his charity and donating activities eat up profits, leading him to put his house up for sale. Chander calls for the highest bid and wants to give it back to Rajan, but being the man that he is, Rajan does not accept. Thus, Chander and Pratima move to Laxmi Bhavan. Later, Pratima gives birth to Munna. Munna likes playing with Rajan's dove.
Due to Rajan's loss, Pratima shows her sympathy to him, much to Chander's dismay which leads him to become addicted to drugs. He starts drinking alcohol and thus join lavish parties. Meanwhile, Rani falls off the staircase and dies making Rajan crestfallen. Later, Munna becomes sick, and wants to play with Rajan's dove. Thus, Pratima requests for the dove (But Rajan sold the dove for feeding Pratima when she comes to his house). Rajan fails to confess the former and breathes his last.
