Plot

The film begins with a millionaire who lives happily with his son Ananda Rao and daughter Rajyalakshmi. Rajyalakshmi knits a pleb, Bhanu Murthy, maliciously defrauds a massive amount from the company with his brother Ramachandra Murthy. Dhananjay Rao, the true-blue of Ananda Rao, detects it. So, they slaughter Ananda Rao and incriminate Dhananjay Rao with the aid of sidekick Gurrala Gurunatham. Rajyalakshmi discerns it, but Bhanu Murthy ploys by declaring her lunatic and sealed in the mental asylum. Due to the mortifications, Dhananjay Rao's wife, Parvati, quits with her two children. Years rolled by, and Vani, the daughter of Ananda Rao, the heir of the property guarded by Bhanu Murthy & Ramachandra Murthy. Here, they are intrigued to couple her with one of their sons, Seshagiri & Raja, respectively. Seshagiri is a scoundrel, whereas Raja is a good egg. He falls for Gurunatham's daughter Rani.

Meanwhile, Chakravarthy, a simpleton, is a newly appointed lecturer in Vani's college whom she endears and nuptials. Soon after, it is revealed that Chakravarthy is the son of Dhananjay Rao, who made a play to seize the knaves. Moreover, his sister Seeta has been hoodwinked by Seshagiri only. As of today, Chakravarthy starts his play, retrieves Rajyalakshmi, and recruits Seeta as her caretaker. Later, the blackguards discover the actuality and wiles by creating turbulence between Chakravarthy & Vani. At last, Chakravarthy ceases them with the help of Raja & Rani, proves his father's non-guilty, and reforms Seshagiri. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of the entire family.
