Plot

The film begins in a village where an orthodox Brahmin, Rama Chary, is the proudest and works as a temple priest. Gopalam, his son, walks to the town for higher education and becomes a debauchery. He submerges in drinking, smoking, and erotic encounters with numerous girls. Yet, Gopalam poses a genuine heart and aids his destitute mate, Dasu, by all means. Dasu always pleads with him to divert his path, which he deaf ears.

Once, the two proceed to the home, and Gopalam forges himself sagest, but his adoration towards his parents is veritable. He also entices a low-caste boatgirl, Gowri, who truly loves him. Besides, Syedulu, the rogue ruffian therein, lusts for her. Rama Chary engages Gopalam's alliance with his mate Ranga Chary's daughter Poornima, and she too endears him. Soon after Gopalam's return, his mother, Janaki, falls ill, and he neglects to obtain letters by spending time frolicking. Dasu resists & quits him as he cannot sustain his heinousness. Tragically, Seeta's health deteriorates & dies, and Gopalam is absent from her funeral. So, Rama Chary is forward and collapses, conscious about his son's dark shade. At that moment, Gopalam is devastated learning about the fatality when Rama Chary retrieves him. Now, Gopalam molds himself as a pure soul Sath Brahim and gains the temple priest post. Plus, his bridal arrangements with Poornima are in advance. It begrudges Poornima’s maternal uncle, Prabhanjanam, since he possesses evil intent on her. One night, an anonymous molests her, but she hides when the suspicion goes on Prabhanjanam.

Meanwhile, Gopalam's former malefic mates revert and seek to distract him, but in vain. However, Rama Chary misconstrues his son and passes away. Following this, the entire village ostracizes Gopalam, who turns terminally ill, and Gowri shields him. Exploiting it, Syedulu attributes infidelity to them, so Gopalam affirms to knit Gowri, despite caste patriarchies’s denial. As a flabbergast, Poornima accuses Gopalam of her betrayal, and the chieftains evict him for espousing her. Whereat, Gopalam unveils Syedulu as the actual killer, and by his threat, Poornima point-fingered him. At last, Poornima eliminates Syedulu through self-sacrifice. Finally, the movie ends happily with Gopalam leaving the village with Gowri.
