Martians visit earth from time to time - to steal diamonds and kidnap scientists. However, there's something fishy about these Martians, and it turns out their rayguns shoot laserbeams that resemble the laserbeams developed by scientist professor Chakravarty (Nisar Ahmad Ansari) to the t. And the professor has a son, Anil (also Nisar Ahmad Ansari) who has gone rogue ...

Agent Rakesh (Pradeep Kumar) is sent to get the professor, but the Martians already seem to know about this, and they send seductive Sophia (Bela Bose) after him to seduce and distract him. He however is much more distracted by a mysterious girl (Tanuja) who seems to appear out of and disappear into nowhere time and again, and she leaves him hardly enough time to tell her he's in love with her - and now he's in a dilemma, because back home, Rakesh's mother (Shobhna Samarth) has arranged for him to be married to a girl he has not even met as of yet.

Meanwhile, professor Chakravarty, who has wokred on a crimesolving computer no less, is paid a visit by his son, who reveals himself to indeed be in league with the Martians, and he destroys his dad's machine and shoots dead. Fortunately, when Rakesh, who has been held back by Anil's men, arrives, he finds the professor still alive. Apparently his son wasn't too good a shot. And the professor is also able to fix his crimesolving machine, and he predicts the next victim of the diamond-stealing Martians: Dwarka Prasad (Hari Shukla), incidently the father of Sarita, the woman Rakesh's mother wants him to marry. Rakesh has mixed feelings about this, until he meets Sarita and finds out she is the mystery woman he has been chasing after all this time. She only wanted to test his love, it turns out, before actually meeting Rakesh.

When Dwarka Prasad is to hand over his diamonds, he is kidnapped by the Martians, and so is Sarita, despite the army's best precautions. Then another woman shows up and claims to be Sarita, but she's actually Anil's mistress Margaret (Nilofar), and her mission is to kill Rakesh, via a timebomb planted on Rakesh's plane. The plane explodes alright, but Rakesh has seen through Margaret's charade too soon and only faked his own death. Then he somehow manages to find Anil's secret headquarters, manages to enter them ... and gets captured.

However, Rekesh's sidekick Neelkanth (Johnny Walker) and his two sidekicks have kept track of Rakesh and soon manage to enter the headquarters, and seductive Sophia has had a change of heart when she learned about Anil's plans to destroy India, and now she sends messages to the military, via fake fingernails! Amidst all of this, Anil tries to convince the army to ammass all their troops in a certain region to attack it with UFOs and wipe it all out in one strike - but one of Sophia's fake fingernails tells the army that is just a trick, and thus Anil's UFOs are lured into a trap instead.

Meanwhile, Rakesh and Sarita have been freed by their friends, have found out the Martians are only fake, the UFOs redesigned fighter jets, and Anil is actually sponsored by a neighbouring enemy nation (wonder who tham might be), and now they lay waste to Anil's headquarters, with the help of the approaching army, but eventually they find themselves cornered all the same, and now only professor Chakravarty can help them escape by taking one of Anil's UFOs. Once airborne though, the professor reveals himself to be Anil, the actual professor was actually shot dead by him quite a bit back, but the masquerade has helped him to keep track of his enemies' activities.

Well, what can I say, it still all ends well.

 

Somewhat fun low budget mixture of alien invasion film and espionage movie of the James Bond-variety. However, the film fails to reach its full (fun) potential for two main reason: 1) The aliens are revealed to be probably not reall too early in the story, so the element of mystery is somehow missing, and 2) too much room is given to the romance subplot, and even though this is a stape in Hindi cinema, it takes the urgency out of the film's other proceedings and somehow destroys some of the tension and pacing of the film.

Still, at least some fun
