Plot

Zamindar Madhu is very gullible, and everyone mocks him. Once he became acquainted with Vasanthi who stays in a portion of his house. Vasanthi becomes very friendly to Madhu which he misinterprets as love, but she treats him as a brother. Meanwhile, Madhu proceeds to higher studies where he befriends Sriram. He makes several attempts to contact Vasanthi and eagerly waits for a reply. Soon after his return, he finds out Vasanthi and her family left the city and their whereabouts are not known. Madhu finds a letter from which he realizes Vasanthi's intention and gets deeply haunted. During that plight, Seeta, the daughter of his Manager Rama Krishnaiah consoles and recoups him whom he starts endearing. Parallelly, Govindaiah's coparcenary to Madhu's grandfather claims a case in the court for the property. The court handovers the property until the judgment is issued. So, Madhu must leave his mansion when Rama Krishnaiah shelters him. After a while, Madhu is on the edge to win the case. So, sly Govindaiah seeks to kill Madhu by an accident in which he loses his memory. Now Sriram is a mental specialist, making serious efforts to regain his friend's memory but in vain. Anyway, Madhu triumphs over Govindaiah and he is seized. Madhu backs to his mansion where he slightly remembers memories of Vasanthi. Sriram & Rama Krishnaiah are in quest of her and favorably, she turns into Sriram’s wife. At last, via Vasanthi Sriram makes Madhu regain his sanity. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Madhu & Seeta.
