Unemployed adventurer Mafatlal is thrown out of his home and told to not return until he has made some money. He responds to an ad for a 'resident son-in-law for wealthy heiress', tries to earn commission from a lawyer by instigating lawsuits, impersonates a station-master to dodge the fare, gets chased by cops and a fisherwoman, and gets robbed. Eventually, he is chosen by the original advertiser, Heeralaxmi, a woman with 'advanced views' on everything. Other characters include a phalanx of women standing for election on outlandish platforms. The socially-conservative comedy betrayed the anxieties of sexually insecure men when faced with the possibility of the emancipation of women. Written by Sujit R. Varma See less
