The story follows a simple rural man who inherits an estate from his deceased zamindar relative. He navigates complex emotions, including unrequited love for Pushpa (Bhanumathi), the zamindar's daughter, and affections for another girl (T.A. Madhuram). His peaceful ownership is threatened by Bhoopathy (Sahasranamam), the estate manager who covets the wealth and attempts to deceive him.
