Ram, a notorious thug, saves some people from getting killed by Vikram, the son of MLA Nagappa and his henchmen, who wants to construct a powerplant. Vikram gets impressed and appoints Ram as his henchmen. Ram meets Kanchana, the daughter of Mahesh, an investigating reporter. Mahesh is against Nagappa and Vikram's atrocities. Ram falls for Kanchana and pursues her to accept him, where Kanchana reciprocates his love despite reluctance. Ram meets Avinash, a young boy, and his mentally disabled mother Lakshmi. Lakshmi's husband is a forest officer, who discovers that Vikram is actually involved in smuggling Sandalwood and tries to arrest them, but is killed by Vikram and his henchmen which makes Lakshmi lose her mental balance after witnessing her husband's death.

The DGP, who gets fed up by the atrocities committed by Vikram and Nagappa, appoints Inspector Sangliyana to gather evidence against Vikram and Nagappa and arrest them. Vikram arrives at Mahesh's printing press to warn him and attempts to break Kanchana's hand, but is stopped by Ram, who thrashes Vikram. Enraged, Vikram places false charges against Ram and is brought to the station, where they learn that Ram is actually Sangliyana and the cop who took Sangliyana's place is Inspector Amar as they planned a covert operation against Vikram and Nagappa. Sangliyana takes charge and closes gambling dens and other operations. Kalle Gowda, the Nagpatna constituency tries to bribe Sangliyana, but Sangliyana arrest Kalle Gowda in charges of his wife's death.

Nagappa fakes Kalle Gowda's death to help him escape, but is thwarted by Sangliyana, who catches Kalle Gowda and takes him to prison. Lakshmi recovers and reunites with Avinash. Sangliyana arrest Vikram in a case and also request Mahesh to participate in elections. Mahesh accepts and wins the election against Nagappa. Nagappa tries to kill Mahesh, with the help of his second son Kumbi, but is outsmarted by Sangliyana. Nagappa kidnaps Mahesh, Kanchana and Lakshmi. Sangliyana arrives, along with Amar and rescues them, but Lakshmi is killed in the process by Nagendra.
