Plot

Gopalam (Rajendra Prasad) was born into an Orthodox Brahmin family, his father Rama Chary (J. V. Somayajulu) is a most respectable person in a village who works as a temple priest. Gopalam leaves town for higher studies where he turns to debauchery, but he acts wisely before his parents. Gopalam is completely submerged in all sorts of vices and does not even have time to attend his mother's funeral. After some time, his father finds out the reality and takes him back. There, Gopalam is completely reformed as a Sath Brahmin and becomes the temple priest. Rama Chary fixes his alliance with his friend Ranga Chary's (Gollapudi Maruthi Rao) daughter Poornima (Rajyalakshmi). Thereafter, Gopalam's past friends reenter his life and try to get him back, but he does not yield. But Rama Chary misunderstands his son and commits suicide. After his death, the entire village ostracizes Gopalam, out of depression, Gopalam goes onto his deathbed. Gowri (Ramya Krishna), a scheduled caste girl who liked Gopalam from the beginning protects him. Meanwhile, Syedulu (Balaji), the village goon, publicizes badly Gopalam & Gowri, so, Gopalam decides to marry her. But shockingly, Poornima claims that Gopalam has spoiled her and village heads order him to marry her. Now Gopalam brings out the truth that Syedulu is the real culprit who has molested Poornima and he threatened her to throw the blame on him.
