An elitist general practioner, Dr. Nihar Sen Gupta, is invited to lecture at the Rotary Club of Jamshedpur. On his way to the lecture he has a flat tyre. While it is being changed, he hears a groaning from behind a bush. On investigation he finds an old peasant lying in a comatose state. Since he is in a hurry, he arranges for the peasant to be taken away to his village. The men who carry him away say that the peasant needs a witch doctor. Dr. Sen Gupta drives on, but has second thoughts and returns. He is just in time to interrupt the exorcism and have the old peasant carried back to his hut.
