Plot
Zamindar Dayanidhi is a deceitful vicious miser whose profession is to take advantage of the destitute by giving loans and taking authority over them. Unable to repay the money he has borrowed from Zamindar for his son Anand's higher studies, Sundaraiah commits suicide. A depressed Anand makes an aborted bid to kill the Zamindar and on the same night, he along with his friend Madan Mohan stumbles upon the corpse of an England-returned rich young man Paramanand, who resembles Anand. On Mohan's advice, Anand takes his place. The dead man's blind mother believes that Anand is her son and performs his marriage with Dayanidhi's class-conscious daughter Sarasa. Dayanidhi objects to his son Murthy marrying their servant-maid Amrutham and tries to kill her by torching her hut. How Anand saves Amrutham, tames Sarasa, and brings in a change of heart in Dayanidhi forms the rest of the story.
