Plot

The film begins in a village where its president Jagannadham commits atrocities as a dictator with Sarpanch Butchaiah, Munsif Achaiah, Lakshmipathi, and a clerk Govindaiah. Bhushayya a Samaritan, is Jagannadham's ex-brother-in-law. At present, Bhushayya lives with his second wife Ranganayakamma, and two sons, Suryam progeny of his first wife, and Chandram. Since Suryam is the nephew of Jagannadham, he couples up with his daughter Lakshmi and under his nurture, he turns into debauchery. Chandram is an upright man, who struggles for the welfare of the village and thus becomes an enemy of Jagannadham. Hence, Jagannadham intrigues to eliminate him who has been rescued by doctor Rohini and they fall in love. Meanwhile, Jagannathan keeps an evil eye on Sarada Bhushayya's sister-in-law's daughter and spoils her match, whereupon Jagannadham & Bhushayya come to blows. A begrudging Jagannadham foments Suryam against his father, which leads to Bhushayya's death. Chandram then hands over the entire property to his brother and quits the house. Afterward, he unites the villagers and forms an association against the evildoers. At the same time, Mohan a Vigilance officer arrives and marries Sarada. Now, with the support of Chandram, he gathers all the pieces of evidence against Jagannatham. Enraged, Jagannatham kidnaps Mohan & Rohini and burns away the yearly yield of the village. All the villagers then burst out in revolt, including Suryam as a reformed person. At last, Chandram conquers the baddies and rescues Mohan & Rohini. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chandram & Rohini.
