Plot

Zamindar Jaganadham lives with his wife, Shantamma, and two children. However, manager Kodandam outwits him and subterfuges to usurp his wealth. As of now, a lament enters as the heir, Rambabu, is abducted by a thief, which leads to Jaganadham's death. Here, the thief falsifies his wife, Lakshmi, the kid, as an orphan who rears him with immense love as Kondadu. Years roll by, and Kondadu dauntless proceeds to the city for livelihood amid squabbles with a beautiful Savitri. Consequently, Kodandam conducts multiple hoodwinks on Shantamma to adopt his sidekick, but in vain since she believes that her son will be back. So, Kodandam schemes to fetch an outsider when he detects Kondadu and triumphs in forging as Rambabu. Here, Kondadu is startled to view Savitri as Kodandam's daughter and the two crushes. Further, he emerges genuine tenderness with Shantamma & her daughter Sita. Plus, he discerns the shatter of Sita's marital life as her husband, Shankar, suspects her fidelity. Hence, Kondadu pledges to rectify the plight when, in disguise, Sita attracts Shankar and knows it is too Kodandam's ploy. From there, he teases Kodandam with Savitri's aid. At last, he blabs the truth when Shankar reforms. Meanwhile, Lakshmi also arrives and declares that Kondadu is the heir. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Kondadu & Savitri.
