Plot

The film begins with two con artists, Bala & Veera, who are acquainted with a crazy situation and move in together. They call each other Babai-Abbai out of goodwill, whose livelihood is debt and absconding from lenders. Once Bala fuses with a girl, Krishnaveni / Krishna, daughter of a multi-millionaire Vara Prasad Rao, they crush. Being conscious of it, Vara Prasad Rao assigns a task for Bala by allocating a considerable amount of ₹25 lakhs and asks him to spend it within 30 days. Eventually, he warns him not to donate or destroy it. Now, Bala starts the operation under the guidance of Babai through various means, i.e., racing, gambling, making a movie, constructing a house, etc. Their income magnifies at every level, which feds up Bala. Ultimately, he throws away the wealth into the sea when Vara Prasad Rao arrives. At last, he affirms that the task is to study Bala's character and that he should also perceive the fruitlessness of treacherous money. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Bala & Krishna.
