Short summary

Charu is the village miser who cares more about money than his own family. He never spends a rupee when he doesn't have to. One day in an indulgent mood he takes his grandson to see a movie. He won't spend money on sweets, telling the boy they are not good for him. While Gopinath finds the movie entertaining, the boy is bored and sneaks out of the theater to meet his friends to play cricket. Gopinath eventually realizes the boy is missing and goes in search of him. Suddenly his money is of no benefit, as he searches fruitlessly for the boy. He buys a packet of sweets for him and even pays homage to the gods, promising to offer a whole coconut if the boy is found. When darkness falls, he makes his way back to his daughter's house and struggles to find the words to explain the situation. Just as he is about to admit his mistake, his grandson comes bouncing into the house joyous at having won his gulli danda match.
