Naagulu ([[Chiranjeevi]]), a snake charmer, falls in love with Menaka, whose adopted brother Raju ([[Narasimharaju (Telugu actor)|Narasimha Raju]]) is in love with Naagulu's cousin Laxmi ([[Rati Agnihotri]]). Naagulu's father has been mixing snake venom into his food since childhood, making Naagulu immune to any snake bite. Every full moon, Naagulu behaves like a cobra and searches for a woman and every woman he meets dies from his poison. On one such full moon, he kills Menaka and Raju gets suspicious about this, as there are no marks of a snake bite on her body. A young teacher comes to the village and becomes Naagulu's victim. Raju investigates with the help of film in her still camera and discovers that Naagulu has become a snake. Naagulu's father reveals his secret before dying and Naagulu tries to find a remedy, but it's too late for that. His skin starts peeling off like a snake and Raju advises him to leave the village before villagers find and kill him.
