In a village, there lives a young & energetic guy, Lakshmana (N. T. Rama Rao) along with his elder brother Ramaiah (S. V. Ranga Rao), sister-in-law Janaki (Devika) and younger sister Shanta (Vijaya Lalitha). Lakshmana is unemployed, simple-minded, and a trouble-maker, while Ramaiah runs the house by making clay idols. Lakshmana is a great devotee of Lord Hanuman and takes an oath that he will also lead a bachelor's life. Dharmaraju (Satyanarayana) the landlord in the village, runs the wholesale market who makes a lot of atrocities. Lakshmana brings out his illegal business and makes his shop sealed. Meanwhile, Janaki's sister Leela (Manjula) visits their house who loves Lakshmana and makes him agree for the marriage. At the same time, Ramanna sees an alliance for Shanta, for which Ramaiah pledges jewelry at Dharmaraju, but he cheats him when angered Lakshmana moves towards Dharmaraju. Frightened, Dharmaraju gives back the jewelry, after that, he gives a police complaint and Ramaiah gets arrested when Janaki & Leela give back the jewelry. Frustrated Ramaiah, asks his brother to leave the house and he takes Shanta also by promising he will perform her marriage grandly. Lakshmana heads for the city and acquires a job at a Zamindar's (Mikkilineni) house. Zamindar's son Prasad (Krishnam Raju) loves Shanta and everyone agrees to their marriage. Meanwhile, Dharmaraju's eye falls on Leela, so, he lures her mother Parvatamma (Girija) and forcibly makes their marriage arrangements. But Leela escapes with the help of Dharmaraju's nephew Appa Rao (Raja Babu), She too heads for the city and finds her beloved Lakshmana. On the other side, misfortune befalls, Dharmaraju auctions Ramaiah's house and throws them out of the village. The Zamindar makes marriage arrangements of Lakshmana & Leela and Prasad & Shanta. During the time of marriage, the separated siblings reunite when Dharmaraju claims Leela as his wife, but Appa Rao proves it as false. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the united family.
