The film is about Ravi Chandra, the film's hero, and Sagara Kanya, a mermaid. Malashree plays Ganga, Ravi's cousin who loves him. They stay with some comedians in a house near the seashore. Kaikala Satyanarayana, the villain of the film, tries to acquire a ship that sank with much treasure on board.
He associates himself with a witch who helps him in finding the treasure. After a few attempts, the witch finds out that the treasure can be recovered with the help of a mermaid. Accidentally one day Sagara comes on to land from the water and loses her mermaid body. She transforms into a beautiful woman.
