Paap Punyo (Vice and Virtue) simply means 'the bad and the good'. But, In one place what is considered as bad can be considered as good in another place. So, defining this, is not that straight forward. Khorshed, the president prize winner local chairman, also didn't manage to define the thin line between the vice and virtue in his life. As the story progresses, he confronted an undiscovered relationship with his housemaid's son Al-Amin that put him in the middle of the dilemma of what is Paap (Vice) and what is Punyo (Virtue).—Giasuddin Selim

The chairman of the Union is admired by all for being honest which is the reason why he has many enemies. His daughter is in love with his bodyguard for which he sends his bodyguard to abroad. As soon as his safeguard leaves, he falls for the trap of his opposition. The chairman fails to prove himself as a victim rather than a convict and is sentenced to death. He gets a chance to prove his innocence but his previous sin keeps haunting him. At the end of the film the meaning of the paradoxical title prevails.—Sifat_Sadman_Turan
