A clever criminal escapes from prison and assumes the identity of a look-alike social activist. Initially using the new identity for his own gain, he slowly uncovers a grave injustice perpetrated by a powerful corporation against an entire village. He is compelled to take up the activist's cause, using his criminal skills to fight for the rights of the oppressed and bring the corrupt enterprise to justice.
