Plot

Gopanna (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) is an innocent cowherd who adores them as God. In the same town, Municipal Chairman Nagaraju (Gummadi) a vicious, undertakes a lot of atrocities and anti-social activities. He has two children, a vainglory daughter Tara (Rajasree), and a warm-hearted son Kasthuri (Chalam). Once, Tara whips Gopanna's cows, in turn, he strikes her. So, Nagaraju sends his men to eliminate him when Kasthuri rescues him and advises Gopanna to meet Advocate Narasimham (Relangi) by changing his attire. Narasimham is a justice-seeking person who always countermoves against Nagaraju and leads a delightful life with his ideal wife Mahalakshmi (Suryakantham). He fixes his daughter Radha's (Bharathi) alliance with his childhood friend Sripathi's son Shekar (again Akkineni Nageswara Rao) one that resembles Gopanna. By the time, Gopanna reaches their residence they honour him misinterpreting as Shekar and he falls for Radha. Shekar arrives to apprentice Narasimham and goes into the clutches of Nagaraju. Anyhow, he escapes and reaches Narasimham where he gets surprised to see Gopanna and learns the facts. Right now, they start a confusing drama without revealing their identity. Eventually, Sekhar loves Tara. Hither, Radha fallacies Gopanna witnessing intimacy of Sekhar & Tara when Shekar affirms the reality. Being cognizant of it, Narasimham necks out Gopanna and decides to nuptial Radha with Shekar he refuses, proclaiming his love affair. At that moment, Narasimham reveals Nagaraju as the homicide of his father Sripathi, who has safeguarded pieces of evidence against Nagaraju in a diary. Listening to it, Shekar breaks down on Nagaraju and gets captivated. Immediately, Narasimham rushes, where Nagaraju seeks to slay him. In time, Gopanna rescues him before Shekar shifts underground. Meanwhile, Gopanna finds the whereabouts of the diary, ceases Nagaraju, and protects Shekar. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Gopanna & Radha and Shekar & Tara.
