Plot

The film begins in a village where a Zamindar late, Jagapati Rao, splices Lakshmi Devi after the death of his wife. Ramu, a valiant progeny of the first devoted to Lakshmi Devi, coddles his half-brother, Prasad. Plus, he takes care of family tasks and toils to ameliorate the lifestyles of the destitute. Besides, Bhushaiah, a vitriolic loan shark, is a tyrant, and Ramu impedes his enormities where animosity arises. Meanwhile, Shanta, a schoolteacher, plugs away to civilize the public. Ramu & Shanta mutually admire their ideologies and fall in love. Shanta lives with her father, Dharmaiah, a bucolic, and sister, Sarada. Pullaiah, the husband of Sarada, is a forthright used to thwart Bhushaiah. So, he postured him as an impostor, which Dharmaiah also believed, and he was ostracized.

Meanwhile, Prasad crushes on Radha, the benevolent daughter of Bhushaiah. Being conscious of it, Ramu proceeds to fix up the match for the ardor of his brother: Whereat, Bhushaiah ruses for a share of joint assets, which Lakshmi Devi denies. Hence, Prasad approaches Panchayati owing to Bhushayya's vitiate. Ergo, Ramu abandons the totality to Prasad and pledges celibacy due to his heir staying away from claiming the share tomorrow, which Shanta also respects. Following, Ramu exits the house, resides with peasants, and forms an association of combined farming with the aid of Shanta. Here, infuriated Bhushaiah intrigues by incriminating Ramu for a heist of society amount, but Lakshmi acquits him by retrieving it. At this point, everyone denounces Ramu, which makes him quit the village. In between, he encounters Pullaiah when the two mingle to check Bhushaiah's trespass. Aside from that, Bhushaiah molds Prasad as a tippler backstab, snatching his property and opting to auction it. He also conspires to knit Shanta in return for Dharmaiah's debt. Ramu ceases Bhushaiah and shields Shanta with their family's prestige in various disguises. At last, Prasad requests Ramu to take back his oath. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ramu & Shanta.
