Frustrated Ramaiah, asks his brother to leave the house and he takes Shanta also by promising he will perform her marriage grandly. Lakshmana heads for the city and acquires a job at a Zamindar's (Mikkilineni) house. Zamindar's son Prasad (Krishnam Raju) loves Shanta and everyone agrees to their marriage. Meanwhile, Dharmaraju's eye falls on Leela, so, he lures her mother Parvatamma (Girija), and forcibly makes their marriage arrangements.
