Plot

The film begins in a village; its President, Jaganadham, is a tyrant who tramples the public, mingling his acolytes Butchaiah, Achaiah, Lakshmipati & Gumustha Govindayya, and loots government grants & schemes. Besides, Bhushaiah is reputable in the village. After the death of his first wife, i.e., Jaganadham's sister, he spliced Ranganayakamma and possessed two sons, Suryam & Chandram. Since Suryam is a progeny of the first, Jaganadham nurtures him, performs nuptials with his benevolent daughter Lakshmi, and is blessed with a son, Raja. Suryam's kinship with Bhushaiah is fragile and has turned into debauchery. Chandram is a gallant, well-informed who toils to enhance the more significant life of the village and impedes the enormities of lowlifes.

Aside from that, Ranganayakamma's sister Janakamma has two daughters, Nirada & Sarada. Jaganadham puts an evil eye on Nirada and molests her. Before dying, she confesses the sin to the village doctor Samuel, whom the miscreants try to bribe but to no avail. So, he slays him too and forges the elope of two by demolishing the bodies. On Raja's pedagogy ceremony, Aksharabhyasam, Bhushaiah fronts to perform when Jaganadham obstructs and insults him. However, Chandram succeeds in doing so, as his father does. Hence, Jaganadham allots his sidekick Kotaiah to kill Chandram, whom Dr. Rohini, the new arrival, shields, and they crush. Following, a beggar constantly roams around the village, teaching morals. Currently, Jaganadham ruses to knit Sarada, but Janakamma denies it and arranges an alliance damaged by black guards, where Bhushaiah revolts and spits on Jaganadham.

Ergo infuriates Jaganadham and foments Suryam against his father for his share, which leads to Bhushayya's death. Later, Chandram gives up Suryam's totality and quits. He resided with peasants and formed a union against Jaganadham & Co. On the beat, Mohan, a sibling of Rohini, lands as a Vigilance Officer and wedlock Sarada. With the aid of Chandram, he accumulates all the evidence against the brutal and seizes their activities. Thus, Jaganadham edicts burning away the harvest and abducting Mohan & Rohini. It induces public rebellion when Suryam also reforms after soul-searching. At last, Chandram secures Mohan & Rohini and is on the verge of eliminating knaves. Therein, it unveils the beggar as a secret cop who apprehends baddies. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chandram & Rohini.
