Plot

Ranga, a jovial loaf, lives with his sister Lachamma & niece Ganga. He credits the prattle of an astrologer that a wealthy woman knits him with Rs.30 Lakhs of property. Besides, Zamindar Raja Shekaram is a millionaire whose only heir is granddaughter Radha. Once, Radha is acquainted with Ranga in an accident when she sweets on him. Meanwhile, Zamindar's malicious Diwanji ploys to knit Radha with his imbecile son Papai when he is mortified. Keeping the grudge, Diwanji incriminates Zamindar as a homicide of his servant Narasaiah, which makes him lose consciousness. Just as Diwanji intimidates Radha to wed Papai above, she is surrounded by several relatives who plot to usurp her wealth. During that plight, Ranga consoles her and makes a game plan. Soon, he civilizes, with the help of Radha, and arrives as Zamindar's friend's grandson and starts teasing the black guards. Later, Radha falls for Ranga; Papai & Ganga are infatuated, and he, too, teams up with them. Parallelly, Ranga makes Zamindar normal and uncovers the truth of Narasaiah's existence in the clutches of Diwanji. At last, Ranga ceases the traitors. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ranga & Radha.
