A few words...	The inhabitant of a remote village are living in constant fear of the local zamindar and his three brothers, who help themselves to whatever they want. One day a new school teacher arrives at the village with his beautiful young wife. The zamindar's brothers kidnap the teacher's wife, keep her in custody and rape her. The teacher informs the police, but soon has to give in to the fact, that no legal action is taken against the zamindar's family. When he happens to meet his wife again, she scolds him for not freeing. Therefore at the day of a religious procession the teachers and the revolting villagers storm the zamindar's farm and drive him and his family out of the village.
