Plot
Mala (Fearless Nadia) lives with her father (Aga Shapoor) who is a doctor, in the jungle. Mala enjoys the jungle life swinging on vines and riding elephants. She also has a horse called Rajput which is able to perform several tricks. Sheena (Leela Kumari) is chief of her tribe and wants a special sceptre called the Rajnishan that the doctor owns, given to him by Sheena’s father. One day a plane lands in the jungle with three men, Kiran (Dalpat), Deepak (Shyam Sunder) and the plane’s pilot Vijay (John Cawas). They are caught by the tribals along with Mala who helped save Vijay's life. They are tied to totem poles, ready to be cooked in boiling pots. The doctor arrives in time to save them. Now Kiran and Sheena are both after the Rajnishan which seems to cast a hypnotic spell over the tribals and allows the doctor to access the treasure. Kiran insists the doctor go back with him to the city saying that the doctor’s brother Ramesh is ill. Once there, Kiran kills the doctor and gets Ramesh, a look-alike, to take his place. Kiran, and Ramesh now as the fake doctor, go back to the jungle. The film moves on to action scenes with Mala swinging and tossing people over her head. Good finally triumphs and Mala leaves the jungle with Vijay in his plane.
