Plot
Ramu an innocent is the son of a millionaire Bahadoor Appa Rao who adheres to family prestige. Ramu is surrounded by many relatives to usurp his wealth especially his sly maternal uncle Gopal Rao and his family. The one that showers motherly affection to him is his sister-in-law Varalamma the wife of his deceased elder. Here Ramu falls for a destitute Sarada but as he obeys his father's behest he abandons her and prepares to knit Gopal Rao's daughter Jayamma. Indeed, Jayamma has an affair with her second cousin Giri and conceives too which Varalamma discerns. Whereat, Gopal Rao ploys by attributing illicit relations between Ramu & Varalamma which makes her quit with the infants. Following this, Ramu also moves to relinquish the property. Next, Gopal Rao intrigues Appa Rao by making him bankrupt, forges as insane, and locks up. Parallelly, Krishna a smart guy, the younger of Ramu, lives with his mother Lakshmi and crushes on a girl Satya. Once he is acquainted with Ramu in an accident when Lakshmi spins rearward. Due to the wiles of Gopal Rao & family Apparao has ostracized her when she is carrying. Meanwhile, Krishna segregates the fragmented family, and retrieves Sarada & Varalamma too even Appa Rao absconded also lands therein. Now, Krishna starts his play, teases, and ceases the cunnies. At last, he affirms in nowadays society the smartness Krishna requires than Rama's righteousness. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Ramu & Sarada and Krishna & Satya.
