Summary: Intended as an indictment of religious
intolerance, the film is set on the frontier
between West Bengal and Bihar. In a
fairground, a child with three heads is
exhibited as a miracle-performing child god. A
poor peasant, Raghubir (Meher), and his wife
Seeta (Patil) hope that the child will alleviate
their suffering. However, Raghubir then
discovers that the misshapen child was borne
by his own wife who sold the infant for 30
rupees. Raghubir indignantly demands to be
given half of that sum and, when he cannot get
it, he beats Seeta in the hope that she will give
birth to another misshapen child.
