Plot

The film begins with Rambantu a tribal boy, whose father dies while guarding Zamindar Raja Ramachandra Prasad against harm in hunting. So he bestows his gratitude by rearing Rambantu along with his children. Zamindar leads a happy family life with his wife Indrani and 4 children. But Indrani being a shrew looks down on Rambantu and pesters her step-daughter Kaveri. Years roll by and Rambantu becomes a staunch to Zamindar, though he is illiterate and has a divine talent of naturopathy to cure diseases. Meanwhile, Gireesam a swindler, fraudulently cracks into the Zamindar's house who entices them, takes charge of his wealth and even puts a bad eye on Kaveri. So, he ploys, by affirming her horoscope as deleterious to her spouse who will soon die after the marriage. Thereupon, everyone rebukes her when she attempts suicide. Rambantu saves and ties a wedding chain Mangalasutram to remove her curse. Here, Gireesam exploits, by denouncing Rambantu's deed when Zamindar knocks and necks him out along with Kaveri. Right now, Rambantu moves to the city where he startups a small-scale business and becomes a millionaire with his talent. Now, Kaveri tries to match with Rambantu which he denies, as he still believes that the curse becomes true afterward, and Kaveri will be paired with a wise person. Parallelly, at the palace, Gireesam bankrupts Zamindar. At last, Rambantu safeguards his master and ceases Gireesam when they learn that Kaveri's horoscope is falsity. Finally, Zamindar declares Rambantu as his son-in-law and couples him with Kaveri.
