A native doctor is of the firm belief that Indian medicine is the best. He wants to get a groom to the elder of his two daughters, Gunavathi and Gowri. He wants the groom to be a good native physician. He finds one, Kulapathi, who is also qualified in western medicine. The native doctor's brother-in-law claims his right to marry Gunavathi. So the native doctor sets a condition saying whoever who finds the old system of medicine called ''Muppu'' can marry his daughter. The B-I-L steals the document from the native doctor but the younger daughter Gowri takes it back. How the problem is solved forms the rest of the story.<ref name=hindu /><br />
