The film is based on William Shakespeare's Macbeth and with Mumbai underworld as its backdrop. Maqbool (Irrfan Khan) is the right-hand man of Jahangir Khan (alias Abba Ji) (Pankaj Kapoor), a powerful underworld don. Maqbool is grateful and feels a close connection and personal indebtedness to Abba Ji. The movie gains pace with two corrupt police-men (played by Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah) predicting that Maqbool would soon take over the reins of the Mumbai Underworld from Abba Ji. These two thus play a role akin to the three witches in the original play.

En revenant d'Europe, Tom Palmer rencontre Nan Brockton et son père George Brockton, sans savoir que ce sont des voleurs de bijoux. Les Brockton louent une maison à Long Island, près de celle des Palmer. Ils y habitent avec Steve Wilson, un tueur qui se fait passer pour leur maître d'hôtel, et Toni Verdi, qui se fait passer pour un professeur de musique. Comme elle l'espérait, Nan est invitée chez les Palmer et, sur place, elle demande s'ils veulent bien garder ses bijoux dans leur coffre, ce qui lui permet d'en découvrir la combinaison. Lorsqu'un certain Hanley de la fondation Carnegie se présente pour discuter avec Tom de l'homme qu'il a sauvé de la noyade pendant la croisière, les Brockton craignent qu'il ne s'agisse de Ferris, un célèbre détective que personne n'a jamais vu. Plus tard, Tom et sa "famille", en fait eux-mêmes un gang de voleurs, spéculent eux aussi sur l'identité de Ferris. Une nuit, Tom et M. Palmer se rendent chez les Brockton pour les cambrioler, pendant que Nan en fait de même chez les Palmer, aidée par Toni et Steve. Nan réussit son coup, mais Tom et Palmer sont pris. Nan est heureuse de découvrir que Tom est lui-même un voleur, et il lui propose de s'enfuir avec les bijoux. La police encercle les deux maisons et ils ont tous arrêtés, mais Tom est relâché et placé sous la garde de Ferris, qui s'avère être Nan. Nan dit à Tom que la cour devrait être clémente car il l'a aidée, et qu'elle l'attendra.

The elder Eastman invites George to visit him if and when he ever comes to town, and the ambitious young man takes advantage of the offer. Despite George's family relationship to the Eastmans, they regard him as something of an outsider, but his uncle nevertheless offers him an entry-level job at his factory. George, uncomplaining, hopes to impress his uncle (whom he addresses as "Mr. Eastman") with his hard work and earn his way up. While working in the factory, George starts dating fellow factory worker Alice Tripp (Shelley Winters), in defiance of the workplace rules. Alice is a poor and inexperienced girl who is dazzled by George and slow to believe that his Eastman name brings him no advantages.
