The film begins at Central Jail, where two petty thieves, Raja & Babu, are jailbirds. They are acquainted with an ingenuous Manohar, who must pay the death penalty. He wants to meet them as his last wish and spins back. Once, he walks out with his sister Sumathi when a taxi driver abducts her, and she becomes a scapegoat for lust by a malicious Muddu Krishna. Manohar files the case by grabbing the taxi driver. Raja Shekaram, a tycoon Muddu Krishna’s elder, ruses with his ally Jairam by mingling with their abettor sly Inspector Paramasivam. Hence, the blackguards intrigue by slaughtering the taxi driver and incriminating Manohar. Hearing it, Raja & Babu take an oath to shield Manohar and fracture his hand to postpone the fine. Soon after the acquit, they start up their play. Firstly, the duo digs up the evidence of Paramasivam’s lucre and confines him. With his aid, Raja posts himself as a Muddu Krishna‘s bodyguard. Babu crushes with Raja Shekaram’s daughter, Chitra. Besides, Raja loves Paramasivam’s daughter, Inspector Geeta. Startlingly, the heels seize Manohar’s parents with a pre-existing rivalry. They endeavor to revive his blackout father, Narayana Rao, for a pot of gold.
Meanwhile, Babu forges as a moneybag and fixes his match with Chitra. Just before the wedding, Babu seeks his dowry from Raja Shekaram to admit their guilt and free the Manohar. Discerning his reality, Raja Shekaram expels him. Ergo, Raja & Babu gamely create conflicts between the knaves. At this, they sense Manohar's parents are being held captive by them, who are secured. Here, as a flabbergast, Raja detects Manohar’s parents as his own, who have split in childhood. Parallelly, Babu rages, spotting Narayana Rao charging him as his parents hit the man. Thus, a brawl erupts between the besties, resolved by divulging the past. Indeed, Narayana Rao is a sincere Inspector. At that time, DIG Prabhu, Babu’s father, gives him a call with Paramasivam to locate a criminal, Solomon, who holds info about a hidden treasure. Accordingly, Raja Shekaram & Jairam also went on their hunt to capture it. Solomon dies in the crossfire, and he unearths the secret to Narayana Rao before leaving his breath. Therefore, the crooks clutch him. In Narayana Rao’s veil, Jairam slays Prabhu & his wife to trap him. He succeeds in fleeing but turns insane in that mishap. At last, Raja & Babu cease the baddies, safeguard the treasure, and prove Manohar guiltless. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriages of Raja & Geeta and Babu & Chitra.
