After seeing an advertisement for making easy money by staying in a house for one night, Sanjeev and Singamuthu go to Mosquito Kumar. Kumar takes them to P. Pandu and tells them that they need to stay in the house for one night so that Pandu can sell it, since potential buyers fear the presence of ghost rumours planted by Pandu's rivals.
