Krishna returns from Malaysia to the village of Kagbeni to meet his childhood friend Ramesh, who runs a small liquor business. Krishna suggests Ramesh to send his liquor to town to sell for more profit. Ramesh tells Krishna that he is going to a neighboring village Marpha and Krishna tags along to meet Amo, his aunt.
On their way to Marpha, they stop at a cave for the night. A mysterious hermit appears shortly. Krishna hands him the blanket that he has brought for Amo. In return, the hermit hands him a monkey's paw, which he claims to be magical. The hermit explains that the paw can fulfill the owner's wish but can bring a great disaster if anyone other than its owner uses it.
On the way back from Marpha, they meet a girl called Pema. Krishna shows Pema a photo of the girl with whom his parents are arranging his marriage. Pema tells them that the girl in the photo is Tara and that someone else also wants to marry her.
Ramesh wakes up in the middle of the night, takes the paw from Krishna and makes a wish to get Tara. Sometime later, as Krishna takes the monkey's paw in his hand, he loses his balance and falls off the hill in spite of Ramesh's efforts to save him with a rope.
The story then moves nine years later. Ramesh is married now with Tara and they have a son Bardaan. Their business has grown. One day, Ramesh is visited by Krishna, who survived the fall. That night, there is a big storm and heavy rainfall, which ruins the apple crop. Ramesh worries that he would not be able to fulfil his customers' orders.
Seeing the deteriorating situation at home, Tara makes a wish on the monkey's paw. The next day, their son Bardaan is run over by a tractor and dies. Both Ramesh and Tara are very much saddened by the incident; however, they get 1,50,000 as a compensation from the owner of the tractor. Ramesh is able to give the trader all the money he owes through this.
One day, while going to bed, Tara makes a wish to return their son. Suddenly, there is a tap on the door. But Ramesh struggles to get the paw from her and wishes they don't want their son back. When Tara opens the door, there is no one. As Ramesh decides to get rid of the paw forever, he makes one final wish that he'll never use it again. The paw is picked up by the once-again-alive Bardaan, who disappears with a flash.
