Plot

The film begins in a village where a naïve girl Lakshmi loves a devious & materialistic Dharmaraju and her grandfather Parandhamaiah fixes their alliance. At the same time, Dharmaraju's maternal uncle Raghunatha Rao a millionaire aspires to knit his daughter with him but when Lakshmi is pregnant. So, Dharmaraju ploys with his friend Nagabhushanam and denounces Lakshmi before villagers which leads to Parandhamaiah's death and Lakshmi is ostracized. Right now, Dr. Dayanidhi a humanitarian shields her, and she gives birth to a baby boy Gopi. At Present, Lakshmi is scared out of society when Dayanidhi adopts Gopi and Lakshmi stays behind as his governess. Years roll by, and Gopi raises under the pampering of Dayanidhi and treats Lakshmi as a servant. In college, he falls for a charming girl Madhavi the daughter of Nagabhushanam. Being cognizant of it, everyone accepts their espousal, apart from Lakshmi as Nagabhushanam is responsible for her plights. At that moment, enraged Gopi necks her out when Dayanidhi is afflicted. Before dying, he divulges the fact to Gopi when he aims to prove his mother's chastity. Following, he lands at their village and starts his play against Dharmaraju & Nagabhushanam with the aid of Madhavi. Ultimately, he succeeds the knaves to confess their guilt. At last, reformed Dharmaraju affirms Lakshmi as his wife. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Gopi & Madhavi.
