Their immediate neighbours are three squabbling couples: Vijay and Anjali who are newly married; Appu Khote and Vimla, who are married and have four children; and Ravi and Meena, who are married and have a daughter. Slowly the husbands are running out of money so they trick their wives and go out for a vacation. Meanwhile, their wives are struggling to pay their rents and decide to work even though their husbands told them not to. When the husbands come back, they kick their wives out of the house since they got jobs. The wives go to live with Jhumri and Bhishma.
The husbands are struggling to cook and take care of their children and go out to bring a dance-bar girl home to cook and look after the children! One day, Meena's daughter Rani falls sick and both husband and wife try to get two lakh rupees to save her life. The wives try to earn the amount by working hard, while Ravi tries smuggling to get the money. The three men are then caught by the police and arrested. Bhishma helps them by finding the real owner of the smuggling racket and freeing the men.
