Esraj, a counterfeiter, attempts to retrieve the treasure with the help of Bangaru and his lover. The policeman and an actress work against them; while the couple outsmarts Esraj, Sengodan is falsely accused and arrested for attempting Bangaru's murder before being exonerated.
The film stars T. R. Ramachandran and Anjali Devi, and was released on 12 February 1954. Unfortunately, it failed commercially and has since been lost.
