His family consists of his wife, two sons and a daughter. They are dead set against the principles followed by their father. There is an urgent need in the family for some money because the eldest son needs to pay a bribe to get a Sub Inspector's job and the youngest son needs to get through his education. So Narayan decides to start a business. He is forced to break all his principles and borrow money from a financier friend, played by Doddanna. Unable to bear the defeat of his ideology, he commits suicide the very day he gives money to his children.
