Everyone plots to usurp his wealth under the guise of serving him and the only one that takes care of Ramu is his sister-in-law Varalamma (Jayanthi), the wife of his deceased elder brother whom he respects as a mother. Here Ramu loves a poor girl Sarada (Radhika) but as he obeys his father's behest he abandons her and prepares to marry Jayamma. But actually, Jayamma has a relationship with Giri, also carrying which Varalamma notices and informs Ramu.
