Shalimar was an action flick that starts with the thief named S.S. Kumar ( Dharmendra ) running from a police officer. He accidentally visits the island of Sir John Locksley ( Rex Harison ) on a private invitation addressed to Raja Bahadur Singh ( Premnath ). When the Raja is shot, Kumar takes him to a nearby hospital, with a turban on his head and posing as the Raja’s son. He goes to the private island of John. The invitation was also attended by many people like K.P.W. Iyengar, Dr. Bukhari ( Shammi Kapoor ), Colonel Columbus, and Countess Rasmussen.

Soon Kumar comes across a secret that all these people who came to attend the meeting were big criminals and gangsters. He also has a sweetheart in Sheila Enders ( Zeenat Aman ) but he was allowed to stay on the island by John as he knew that he would soon make it to the list of criminals and gangsters just like him. The meeting was planned because John was ill and was dying due to cancer so he wanted to have a person to look after his stuffs and work.
