Ram Prasad, a young CA and his siter Ratna, are orphans living in Bombay. One
morning, a family friend, Dr. Kedar comes to visit him with information about a
very well paid job being advertised by Bhavani Shankar, the owner of Urmila
Trading Corporation, who happens to be Dr. Kedar's personal friend also. Bhavani
approves of this moustached man and gives him the job. Ram is happy with his new
job, but for the kurta and the oil. Bhavani Shankar is an eccentric who believes
that youth should have no interests beyond work and industry and so Ram knows
that he cannot ask to leave to watch the India-Pakistan cricket match. With the
aid of his friends, he arranges to go to the match saying his mother is ill.
Unfortunately for Ram, Bhavani notices him at the stadium. On demand of an
explanation, Ram blurts out that the person seen was not he, but his twin Laxman,
who was clean shaven. Bhavani gives Laxman the job of teaching his daughter
music. Ram's life becomes a frantic run-around; as RAm with a false moustache he
attends the office, as clean-shaven he teaches the boss's daughter music. The
inevitable complication occurs when Urmila falls in love with Laxman. Meanwhile,
Bhavani demands to meet Ram's mother, who like Laxman, is non-existent. Life is
going steady until one day, the moustache falls off.
