An inspector is new to the place, receives hush from the public, and precedes Ranga Rao, whom he debases. Accordingly, he priors a case of criminal Raja, who is under a penalty on murder convict. Aside from that, Ranga Rao hounds the villagers to nullify while Raja backs and finger-wages Ranga Rao with valor. Next, the Inspector questions Raja, and then he reels the rearward.

To pay back, Ranga Rao works with his son Chinna, the mate of Lakshmi, who artifices love with her. He silently knits her with the blessing of Raja and flees. Afflicted Lakshmi conceives; over time, she finds Chinna's presence at his residence. Pronto, Lakshmi rushes when she is aware of Ranga Rao's malice. Unfortunately, they detect and stab her, and when outraged, Raja kills Chinna.
