The story is divided into two parts.
The first part is about a black monkey who teams up with a powerful devil to steal the moon, which is then hidden in a box. The people of a village are worried as the moon is not visible, and a young boy named Salman prays to God to bring back the moon. God answers his prayer, and a strong wind blows, causing the box to open and the moon to reappear. The black monkey is blown away, and the villagers celebrate the return of the moon and the upcoming Eid festival.
The second part of the story is about a pregnant witch who roams the forest and preys on unsuspecting men by pretending to be a helpless pregnant woman. She uses her charm and magical powers to lure them into her trap and then kills them. Two men, Rohan and Birju, fall victim to her trickery, but a third man, Suresh, is saved when the villagers come to his rescue after hearing his cries for help. The story ends with the villagers being warned about the pregnant witch and advised to be cautious when encountering pregnant women in the forest.
