Plot

The film begins in the village where Anantaramaiyah, a schoolteacher, resides with his two children, Prasad & Sarada. Once, Zamindar Raja Raghunath Rao ploys to squat the school land, which Anantaramaiyah denies. Hence, he sets fire, and Anantaramaiyah dies while guarding the children. Now left alone, Prasad & Sarada are split by their paternal & maternal aunts when Sarada faces asperity. Knowing it, Prasad seeks his sister, but shrew aunt Ramanamma denies it. Hence, to rear her, Prasad lands in the city and acquires a job in a mechanic shed owned by Parandhamiah. Years pass, and Prasad becomes a chief mechanic, but Sarada still struggles with Ramanamma.

Meanwhile, Prasad joins as a tenant at a retired army officer, Eshwar Rao, whose daughter Vijaya loves & knits him. Parallelly, a moneybag, Gopal, visits the village and hoodwinks Sarada, who conceives. Being conscious of it, Prasad pledges to straighten out the plight. Currently, Prasad fetches Sarada with him when Vijaya wholeheartedly consoles her. After a while, she gives birth to a baby boy and detects Gopal, the Parandhamaiah's son, who believes her. During this time, Parandhamiah ensured that he had fixed the issue. Anyhow, he backstabs Prasad by incriminating and sentencing him. Soon after acquitting, Prasad challenges Parandhamiah to splice Sarada with his son. At that point, Prasad shelters an older man from suicide. Startlingly, he transforms into Raja Raghunatha Rao, who has approached them as a penance for his sin. Due to this, he lost all his men. As of now, he declares Prasad as his heir. At last, Prasad, in various disguises, reforms Parandhamiah & Gopal. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
