Synopsis
Amarakaran Pathrose who is a name to reckon with in village Muthangakuzhi. He is the monarch of all that he surveys, thanks to his rough and ready methods. Fear stalks the village whenever he gets into action.
His son, Ben Johnson is everything that the fear-inspiring father is not. He goes out of the way to be nice to one and all. The effort is to erase the bad impression created by the father.And Johnson has always cherished a dream of becoming a policeman.
Ever since his childhood, Johnson has been good in sports. Thanks to his excellence in athletics, the villagers start calling him Ben Johnson because of his physical resemblance to the famously infamous Canadian athlete of yesteryears, Ben Johnson.
To cut a long story short, our Johnson manages to become a sub inspector in Kerala police, needless to say, under the sports quota! As destiny would have it, Johnson is posted as the SI in his own Muthangakuzhi. Now he is fired by a missionary zeal to rid the village of rowdies and baddies, both social as well as political.
