Savitri (Vanisri), the only daughter of Aswapathi Maharaja (Gummadi), King of Madra has married Satyavantha (Krishnam Raju), son of blind King Dyumatsena Maharaja (Dhulipala), who lived in exile as a forest-dweller. Knowing well that Satyavantha has only a year of lifespan, after the marriage, she marries him. On his death day when Satyavantha is cutting wood, he suddenly gets dizzy and lays his head in Savitri's lap. Yama Dharma Raju (N. T. Rama Rao) himself descends onto the earth and claims his soul. Savitri follows when Yama Dharma Raju tries to convince her to go back, but she persists. Impressed with her persuasive speech, he grants her three boons; anything except bringing back her husband's life. In the first one, she asks him to restore her in-law's eyesight and kingdom, then a son for her parents, and finally a son for herself by mistake Yama Dharma Raja grants the three. Here the last wish creates an awkward situation as it is impossible to have a child without a husband. Finally, Yama Dharma Raju accepts his defeat, returns Satyavantha's life to Savitri, and blesses the couple.
