Everyone plots to usurp his wealth under the guise of serving him and the only one that takes care of Ramu is his sister-in-law Varalamma (Jayanthi), the wife of his deceased elder brother whom he respects as a mother. Here Ramu loves a poor girl Sarada (Radhika) but as he obeys his father's behest he abandons her and prepares to marry Jayamma. But actually, Jayamma has a relationship with Giri, also carrying which Varalamma notices and informs Ramu. At this point, Gopal Rao ploys by attributing illicit relations between Ramu & Varalamma which makes her leave the house along with the infant children. After that, Ramu also follows her relinquishing the property. Thereafter, Gopal Rao intrigues Appa Rao by making him bankrupt, displaying him as insane, and house arrests. Parallelly, Krishna (again Akkineni Nageswara Rao) a smart guy, the younger brother of Ramu, lives along with his mother Lakshmi (Sukumari) and falls in love with a beautiful girl Satya (Jayasudha). Once he meets Ramu in an accident and is surprised to see both of them lookalike.
