The woman seems to be the late wife of Seth Durgadas whose daughter, Sabita, is rescued from a tiger attack by Ranjeet who is disfigured in the process. Durgadas gives the young man a job but soon Ranjeet is revealing his more violent side - Durgadas is murdered and the finger of suspicion is pointed at Sabita's lover Suresh Kumar. When Suresh disappears, Ranjeet starts plotting to drive Sabita insane but he hasn't reckoned with the ghost of the Tower House...
