Plot

The film begins in Vijayapuri, where a wealthy landlord, Somanatham, lives with his daughter Sarada & sibling Kamakshamma. Once upon a time, Kamakshamma's husband, Kanakaiah, was slain by a bandit gang. So, Kasipati, his elder brother, seeks vengeance and wipes them out by camping in the forest, titling himself as Aggi Ramudu. After a while, Kanakaiah's son Kumar walks for an excursion to the same forest when Kasipati secures him from the tiger hunt. Recognizing Kumar as his brother's son, Kasipati rears & molds him as gallant. Presently, he turns into Aggi Ramudu, who hinders atrocities but is posed as a marauder and fills terror in that terrain. The Sub-Inspector & Head Constable are in a severe quest for him. However, everyone is unaware that Aggi Ramudu is an honorable Abdul Rahman disguise who resides in front of Somanatham's house. Meanwhile, Veeraju, Sarada's evil cousin, lusts to knit her, which Somanatham denies. So, he plots with haunted felon Kaaturi Kalaiah, the actual killer of this outrage, and abducts Sarada. Aggi Ramudu, in the guise of an old man, shields and carries her to his secret base. Firstly, Sarada loathes him, conscious of his true face, but later comprehends his virtue and endears him witnessing righteousness in his kingdom. Over time, he safely lands her home beyond the reach of Veeraju as Abdul Rahman. Here, the Sub-Inspector feels something fishy and questions Abdul Rahman when he promises & proves all charges against Aggi Ramudu are false. Besides, sly Mangalampadu Zamindar takes debt from Somanatham. To avoid it, he conspires with Veeraju and captures him with a call to repay. Now, Veeraju threatens Sarada to splice, showing danger to her father's life. Hence, Sarada proceeds to him, where Veeraju tries to molest her when his amour Janaki, whom he hoodwinked bars. Tragically, Veeraju slaughters her. Eventually, Aggi Ramudu arrives and guards Sarada. In the attire of Abdul Rahman, he saves Somanatham, too, with the aid of the Sub-Inspector, and ceases baddies. Somanatham invites all to dinner the same night when Abdul Rahman forwards Aggi Ramudu & Sarada's wedding proposal, which makes Somanatham serious. Abdul Rahman divulges Aggi Ramudu's birth secret when Kamakshamma realizes he is her son, Kumar. At last, as a flabbergast, Abdul Rahman unveils himself as Aggi Ramudu & Kumar. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Aggi Ramudu / Kumar & Sarada.
