Prabhu, despite having all the required qualifications for the job he applied for, fails after he was demanded to pay a considerable amount as a caution deposit. And every time, all his chances of getting the job were hanging on the payment of this caution.

Determined to get the job at all costs, Prabhu is ready to do anything to obtain this amount as quickly as possible. So Prabhu decides to kidnap someone so as to demand a ransom from the family of this person. The fate leads him to abduct Uma, who happens to be the one and only daughter of Minister Durai Raj.

Uma falls in love with Prabhu and, before long, Prabhu begins to love Uma too. Meanwhile, Uma’s parents hire Vasu, a rowdy who’s ready to do anything for the sake of money, to find their daughter. The rest of the film revolves around if the pair will be found.
