Plot

The film begins in a village where Raju, a peasant, dotes & rears his sibling Janaki. Zamindar Venkatappa, a tyrant, tramples the farmers whom Raju consistently antagonizes. Dr. Raghu, the benevolent son of Venkatappa, supports & serves the needy. From childhood, Venkatappa’s niece, Advocate Rani, loves Raghu, and elders want to knit them. Anyhow, Raghu denies it, yet uppity Rani pledges to possess him. Meanwhile, Raju fixes Janaki’s alliance when Venkatappa ruses by confiscating his property for the debts. Thus, it calls off the wedding and penalizes Raju for a deceitful cover-up. Janaki, left alone, encounters consequences, and destiny tosses her towards Raghu, who shelters and nuptials her. Though the Venkatappa couple is hostile, Janaki gains their affection with her virtue, and she conceives. Currently, Raju has been acquitted. One night, when Raghu is absent, he steps in to seek vengeance on Venkatappa. Nevertheless, he views Janaki, via whom he is aware of the status quo, and silently backs. Venkatappa couple spots it and expels her, suspecting her chastity. Exploiting it, Rani bruits her elopement, which collapses Raghu. After facing many hardships, Janaki delivers a baby boy. Since she is helpless, she endorses him to the childless, wealthy Venkataramaiah couple. Rani tries to get hold of Raghu, who is upset for Janaki, who gains humiliation instead. Fortuitously, Raju rescues Janaki from suicide and retrieves her baby, too. Now enraged, Rani wants revenge and publishes a paper advertisement for the groom. Raju comes across and approaches her in disguise. At this, she proclaims to him that the only way to splice her is to slaughter Raghu. Here, Raju makes a play by divulging actuality to Raghu, counterfeits his death, and hides-uniting him with Janaki. At last, the Venkatappa couple & Rani beg forgiveness from Raju & Janaki. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Raju & Rani.
