Madurai, a traffic police who dreams to become a police inspector, lives with his mother Maragatham. One day, he clashes with Meenakshi, the daughter of the corrupt home minister Ulaganathan. Meenakshi uses her father's clout to change Madurai's duty, and Madurai becomes her house guard. Meenakshi spends her time in humiliating the poor Madurai. Kumarasamy, his brother Kulasekaran, and his sister-in-law Gomathi run a free school for blind children in their property. The prime minister orders Ulaganathan to buy their property. But they refuse to sell it, so Ulaganathan's henchmen kill Kumarasamy. In the meantime, Madurai and Meenakshi fall in love with each other. Ulaganathan gets to know their love and transfers Madurai at the local police station. Inspector Rudra and Ulaganathan decide to buy Kulasekaran's property by force and to send Madurai behind bars.
