Agra Bazar

In Agra, depression prevails over the bazaar and nothing sells. A cucumber-seller feels that if he could get a poem written about the qualities of his product, it would sell better. He approaches several poets but they turn down his request. Finally, he goes to the poet Nazir who promptly obliges him He returns singing Nazir's song about cucumbers and customers flock for his product. Other vendors - Ladduwala, The Tarboozwala, etc. follow suit and soon the whole bazaar is humming with Nazir's songs. Around this main plot is woven the story of a young vagabond who pursues a courtesan and comes to a sticky end at the hands of his rival a police inspector, whom he has earlier shamed in this game of love.
