## Plot

The film begins in a town where 5 traitors, Bhujanga Rao, Abbadhaiah, Karunakaran, Devaiah Shetty, & Sanyasi Rao, forge as hypocritical social workers. They slay their wise partner Kesava Rao via a deadly gangster, Joginder, who molds them his puppets from there. Ramu, a young charm, loves Leela, Bhujanga Rao's daughter, who detests the tie as he is destitute but approves of Leela's pressure. Now, Ramu proceeds to debt Devaiah Shetty for expenses, but he denies it. Consequently, a theft befalls therein, for which Ramu is blasted and sentenced. Now, Bhujanga Rao compels Leela to knit with a wealthy Raghu. After a while, Ramu becomes guilt-free and collapses, becoming aware of the status quo. Moreover, his house is auctioned by Devaiah Shetty owing to a loan. Dispirited, Ramu lands in the city, acquainted with a dance master, Gopi, who shelters him. Initially, he joins Karunakaran and Sanyasi Rao, but discerning tyranny, he quits. He enrolls in a drama company via Gopi, where he meets an altruist, Karuna. Meanwhile, Raghu & Leela lead a good life and are blessed with a baby boy. Here, Joginder snares and habituates Raghu to various vices. Once, his men attacked Raghu when Ramu shielded him. The next day, Ramu visits Raghu's home, where he is startled to view Leela, who faints up. Afterward, Ramu nears Leela as a sibling. Raghu misinterprets it, and a rift arises. Soon, Ramu wrote letters to Leela, which Raghu took on and repented, discerning their holistic relationship. He also unwarps the diabolic shade of Jogindar, ergo, is seized. Aside from this, the Police are thereby eradicating blackguards investigating the society and triumphing with the aid of Ramu & Gopi. At last, Ramu ceases Joginder and secures Raghu. Finally, the movie ends with the marriage of Ramu & Karuna.
