Plot

The film begins in a village where Zamindar Minor Raja is a wealthy, wayward tomcat who frolics with the courtesans. The vicious President of the town has a family feud with Minor for splendors passed down through the generations. Besides, Santhana Lakshmi, a naïve, stubborn, & tenacious beauty, returns after a long time. Initially, Minor & Santana Lakshmi are acquainted with squabbles. The President lusts for her and abducts when Minor guards Santana Lakshmi. Though the two fall in love, they challenge each other to propose because of their hoity-toity. Once, Minor seizes one fleeing hoodwinking woman and espouses them. Sita, an incoming school teacher, witnesses it and comprehends his divine integrity.

On the eve of a fair, Minor publicly throws a bet to win, stipulating he will win one of his choices and triumphs. Accordingly, he demands the girl on whom his chain decorates and lands at Santana Lakshmi. However, Minor mortifies Santana Lakshmi by denying her for the lack of femininity. Hence, her ego ignites and pledges to splice him at any cost. Being incognizant, Sita rents a place which is a whorehouse prior. Assuming it is previous, Minor sets foot to rag Santana Lakshmi. Therein, the President imputes guilt to them, so Minor forwards to wedlock Sita, who, too, accepts knowing his rectitude. Sita also seeks an oath to relinquish his past life, and he does, but it collapses Santana Lakshmi. Minor & Sita delightfully accomplished 7 years of material life with an infant, Chakri, and Santana Lakshmi is still awaiting him. So, the begrudged President ruses by spreading the word to Minor on behalf of Santana Lakshmi, saying that Chakri is not his progeny. Thus, furious, Minor lifts her to molest before all but leaves no stone unturned to keep his vow.

Anyhow, Santana Lakshmi accuses him at Panchayati that he committed the offense. Minor quiets to save his wife's honor when devastated Sita greets her into their house, bestowing half of her share. Despite this, Minor endures chagrins from the public but fails to get out of silence. Sita behests him to wedlock to Santhana Lakshmi to relieve the knotty and tries self-sacrifice. Ergo vexed, Minor divulges the totality when she bows down before his eminence. Simultaneously, the President impounds Chakri when Santhana Lakshmi rushes and Minor & Sita behind them. The heel threatens Santhana Lakshmi to fulfill his urge by putting Chakri at a pitfall and unwraps his conspiracy. Whereat, the Minor couple discerns her virtue. In that brawl, Santhana Lakshmi slays the President to shield Minor's family and pays the sentence. At last, she acquits after 14 years, when Sita is on her deathbed. Finally, the movie ends with Sita happily leaving her breath, uniting Minor & Santhana Lakshmi.
