This irks remaining ladies as they are indulgent towards his smartness & wealth. As a result, Jayanthi loses her job, so, Raja Shekaram appoints her as his own secretary. But always, quarrels & disputes arise between them as Jayanthi dislikes Raja Shekaram's closeness with other ladies. Later on, Raja Shekaram realizes Jayanthi as his maternal uncle's daughter through their grandmother (Santha Kumari) and they decide to marry. Knowing it, all the tycoons begrudge especially Mr & Mrs.Karunakaram (Satyanarayana & Girija) as they have an intention to couple up their daughter Prameela (Jaya Sudha) with Raja Shekaram. So, they ploy & splits Jayanthi, showing menace to Raja Shekaram. Parallelly, Jayanthi's grandmother also passes away when grievous Jayanthi leaves the town. Now Mr. Moneybags create notoriety as if she eloped. At present, Jayanthi takes shelter at Dr. Vijayalakshmi (Krishna Kumari) as a caretaker to her infant children (Master Ramu & Baby Rohini). Here, Doctor's younger brother Prasad (Ranganath) aspires to marry Jayanthi which she too accepts. Meanwhile, Prameela elopes with Raja Shekaram's close friend Sivaram (Chandra Mohan) when these big shots mortify and pleads pardon from Raja Shekaram. Surprisingly, to the wheel of fortune, Prasad happens to be Raja Shekaram's friend. Right now, Raja Shekaram learns about regarding espousal of Prasad & Jayanth, so, he calmly leaves the place. At last, Prasad & Vijayalakshmi realizes the truth and sends Jayanthi back. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Raja Shekaram & Jayanthi.
