One rainy afternoon, old bank employee Paresh Dutta finds a mysterious stone. This stone turns out to be a 'philosopher's stone', as the metal can turn into gold.

Until he gets so drunk at a cocktail party hosted by businessman Kachalu that he performs a magician act and turns things into gold. Kachalu discovers Dutta's secret, but no one believes him. Frustrated, he reports to the police, with the information that Dutta is a gold smuggler. Dutta is arrested and brought to court.
