Zamindar Anand Varma comes across a public auction, where an innocent woman, Rajeswari , is being sold off. Anand marries her to save her from dishonor. His mother Anasuya Devi opposes this marriage and throws them out after being instigated by her manager Kamaraju . Anand and Rajeswari start living in the village. After a while, Rajeswari becomes pregnant. One day Rajeswari notices a woman trying to commit suicide and learns that she is Anand Varma's maternal uncle's daughter Lakshmi. Lakshmi has been in love with Anand from childhood and has decided to kill herself as he has married Rajeswari. Hearing this, Rajeswari assures Lakshmi that she will fulfill her wish. She forces Anand to marry Lakshmi and dies soon after giving birth to a baby boy. Lakshmi takes care of the baby as her own and consoles a depressed Anand. Eventually, Lakshmi also gives birth to a baby boy. Manager Kamaraju exploits the situation by provoking Anusuya Devi to do away with Rajeswari's son. Kamaraju sends his henchmen to kill the baby.

The child, Raja, grows up to be a pop singer and falls in love with a girl Prema. Lakshmi's son Kalyan is a spoiled-brat, due to the machinations of Kamaraju and his son Ramanandam. Lakshmi tries to reform Kalyan by keeping him away from Kamaraju. So, Kamaraju and Ramanandham plan to kill her. Raja rescues her and she recognizes him as her stepson.
