Plot
Chandram is a dynamic youth of a village who educates the villagers about new scientific technics to develop their agriculture skills. He falls for a beautiful girl Suguna daughter of a farmer Sambayya. The village head Ganapati poses himself as a devotee but factually a malevolent person who tries to cease Chandram's activities along with his associate Sankaram. Once Ganapathi tries to molest his henchmen Kondayya's wife Santha, the cousin of Chandram but she escapes. Keeping that grudge in mind, he slanders against Santha that she has illicit relations with Chandram when Kondayya necks her out. Meanwhile, Ganapathi exploits Sambayya and he decides to couple up Suguna with him to which she refuses. So, Ganapathi and Sankaram incriminate Chandram and he is sentenced. Parallelly, Ganapathi also implicates Kondayya in a black-marketing case and sends him to jail. In prison, Chandram makes Kondayya realize his mistake. After release, the bravo Chandram stands courageously for justice, gives a check to the baddies, and makes them punished for their deeds. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chandram & Suguna.
