- The film is about two pairs of identical twins separated at birth and how their lives go haywire when they meet in adulthood. Raj Tilak (Utpal Dutt) and his wife (Shammi) are on a trip with their twin sons, both of whom they call Ashok. Since they look the same, they should be called the same, is Mr Tilak's reasoning. As fate would have it, they adopt another set of twins (they visit a guest house for a brief rest before boarding their ship. At the guest house, the coachman Babban Miyan brings them an abandoned set of twins whom the couple adopts), both of whom they call Bahadur. The couple and the 4 kids board the ship, which drowns in a storm. the twins get separated: Ashok and Bahadur 1 and Ashok and Bahadur 2.. A few years later, Ashok 1 (Sanjeev Kumar) is married to Sudha (Moushumi Chatterjee) and Bahadur 1 (Deven Verma) is married to Prema (Aruna Irani). They all stay together with Sudha's younger sister Tanu (Deepti Naval). Back when Tanu and Sudha's father Gangaprasad had adopted Ashok 1 and Bahadur 1 after the ship went down, but he had no clue of their twins. Ashok says before dying, his own dad had revealed to Gangaprasad who was Ashok and who was Bahadur. Gangaprasad's accountant saved Raj Tilak and his kids from the drowning ship.
Into their lives enter the other Ashok 2, a detective novel aficionado, and Bahadur 2, a Bhaang (an edible form of cannabis which has been used in India since before the Vedic period) lover. The duo are in town to buy some farmland and are staying in a local hotel. They are vigilant as some people at the station recognize them as Ashok/Bahadur 1 but they think that it is a gang who is after their money. They even try to confuse the taxi guy, but have to give him the address of their hotel Meanwhile Ashok 1 has a big fight with Sudha since he has not yet given her a necklace. He vows not to return home unless he has the jewel from the jeweler Chedilal (C. S. Dubey). Chedilal has in turn taken diamonds from Ganeshilal (T.P. Jain). Mansoor Miyan (Yunus Parvez) works for Chedilal and Ashok 1 likes him for his jokes and wisecracks. Ganeshilal has been promised cash payment the next day at 11 am.
Prema sends Bahadur 1 to get radish stuffed flat-bread at night, and he runs into Ashok 2 at the bus stand (who was out to make a deal on the farmland). Ashok 2 is angry that Bahadur 2 ignored his instructions to stay inside the hotel and thinks he has consumed a marijuana spiked drink despite his express command not to do so. while Bahadur 1 is perplexed that Ashok 1 is smoking cigarettes and not accepting that he has a wife or a sister-in-law. Bahadur 1 goes back home and tells everyone that Ashok 1 has gone mad. Sudha ignores him. Meanwhile back at the hotel Bahadur 2 admits to Ashok 2 that he took a little a marijuana spiked drink . Tanu has a show in the evening and sends Bahadur 1 to Ashok 1's friend Alka (Padma Chavan), and asks him to check at office and at Chedilal's.. Bahadur 1 vows not to return without Ashok 1. At Chedilal's Bahadur 1 learns that Ashok 1 will come there at 10 pm to pick up the necklace. Ashok/Bahadur 2 reach Tanu's singing performance. Inspector Sinha (Lt.Col. R.K. Kapoor) finds Ashok 2 at the cafeteria, who is Ashok 1's good friend. Tanu comes to the cafeteria and insists to take him home. Ashok 2 resists, but is forced by Inspector Sinha to go home with Tanu.

Sudha tries to seduce Ashok 2 thinking he is Ashok 1. Meanwhile Prema tries to do the same with Bahadur 2. Bahadur mixes marijuana in fritters to get the ladies to sleep. Ashok 2 and Bahadur 2 get Sudha and Prema out, but Tanu forces Ashok 2 to eat some fritters and he sleeps as well and are unable to escape at night. Bahadur 2 waits for Ashok 2 at the rear gate of the house. Meanwhile Ashok/Bahadur 1 meet at Chedilal's at 10 pm and the necklace is not yet ready. After a few hrs Chedilal promises that he will send the necklace home via Mansoor at first light and begs them to go home.
