The film begins with Bhimavaram Buchchi Babu / Babu a house broker, who profits cannily with his sidekick Anji. Once, Geeta a newcomer to the city contacts him when Babu cleverly rents a portion of his house owned by a dangerous goon Tiger Dharma. Presently, Geeta is on the hunt for her lover Aravind whose whereabouts are not known. After a toil, she detects him when he requests time for their nuptials to convince his parents and Geeta continues as Babu's tenant. Meanwhile, Dharma acquits, who has a hilarious vow not to molest a married woman. Due to this, Babu claims Geeta as his wife which leads to a series of falsehoods. Whereupon, Anji inquires Babu about the true motive for his conning, when he moves rearwards. In his childhood, he resides with his sister Parvati where his sly brother-in-law Kotaiah despises him. However, Babu dots upon his niece and owes to shield her. Tragically, he is incriminated and sentenced for a crime. Thus, he is winning the bank by many roads for his espousal and fulfilling the niece's cravings. Here as a flabbergast, Babu discovers Geeta is only his niece. She fled from the home to abscond the forcible martial with Babu fixed by Kotaiah. Then, Babu decides to unite Geeta & Aravind without revealing his identity. Before Dharma seeks out the truth by spotting Geeta with Aravind. As a result, he necks Babu out and attempts to molest Geeta. Anyhow, Babu safeguards her and she again dwells with him. After crossing many hurdles Babu convinces both families to knit with Geeta & Aravind. During the time of the wedding, Aravind retorts against Babu and sets down Geeta's chastity which makes Anji outburst. At that point, Geeta realizes the righteousness of his uncle and loathes Aravind. At last, it is revealed that Aravind has intentionally falsified himself as an imposter by being aware of actuality. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Babu & Geeta.
