An ex-convict must flee his mob boss, leaving his family to fend for themselves. The ex-convicts wife in a fit of bad luck turns blind and inevitably his children are abandoned. They are adopted by a Hindu policeman (Amar), a Muslim tailor (Akbar), and a Catholic priest (Anthony). The Hindu raised son (Vinod Khanna) becomes a policeman in his turn; his Muslim-raised brother (Rishi Kapoor) becomes a singer; and the last brother, played by Amitabh Bachchan, becomes a happy-go-lucky Catholic who lives on the edge of law.

The boys meet again and their lives become entangled in an incredible twist of unlikely coincidences and furious action sequences interspersed with songs. The grieving mother recovers her sight nearer the ending, the criminal mob boss who unwittingly caused all the commotion is punished, and the family is at last re-united.
