Manjhle Babu and Chhote Babu were the two brothers who owned Badi Haveli - the ancestral property that had come down to them through earlier generations. Both in keeping with the family were given to a life of lethargy and philandering where wine flowed and the tinkling anklets of 'nautch' girls were preferred to the endearing smiles of wives. Chhote Babu's wife Chhoti Bahu a middle class woman accepted by the landed aristocracy in marriage for her great beauty could not however reconcile herself to the libertine habits of her spouse. Deprived as she was of the love and presence of her husband Chhoti Bahu's spirit rose in revolt. But tradition as much as the high walls of Badi Haveli checked her from giving expression to it. Even as the lords of Badi Haveli spend their nights in orgies of drinking and philandering and their days in flying pigeons and catching up on lost sleep there arrived at the mansion a village simpleton Bhootnath a relation of an employee of Badi Haveli - Master Babu. In search of a job he soon found one in the Mohini Sindoor Factory as a clerk. In the factory he came across Jaba the sweet daughter of the owner Subinoy Babu.

Having read that the application of Mohini Sindoor would bring back for her the errant husband Chhoti Bahu sent for Bhootnath to get her the Sindoor. Bhootnath soon emerged as her confidante and sympathizer. To bring her errant husband back to her Chhoti Bahu set an example of self-sacrifice that left everyone in Badi Haveli stunned with surprise.
