Narashimham an industrialist, is a chronic bachelor as he develops a hatred towards marriage. He behaves like a dictator in the office and his word is an ordinance to everyone. Balakrishna is his Assistant Manager, who gets his appreciation more than anyone because he is a hard worker as well as he too a bachelor. Balakrishna loves a beautiful girl Radha. He postpones their marriage until he gets a promotion. Unfortunately, due to the pressure of Radha's father Parvathalu, he secretly marries Radha in a temple. Parvathalu does not allow them to stay together until he gets the promotion. So, Balakrishna makes a plan and takes Radha to honeymoon in the name of a pilgrimage. In the office, he takes leave by lying that his grandmother expired. During their journey, unexpectedly, their vehicle come to repair. So, that night unknowingly they stay at their office guest house. Next day, Narasimham visits the same guest house on office work. He sees Radha alone in the guest house. When he questions her, she bluffs that she came on the interview and she has to stay there for a night. But Narasimham does not believe that and thinks that she has eloped from the house towards her love interest. With the help of guest house watchman Lingaiah and his wife Kanakamma, Balakrishna somehow manages the situation and hides in their quarters. Narasimham offers a job for Radha and appoints her as his personal secretary. After that, Balakrishna makes various plans to set Radha free from Narasimham, but fails. Seeing this, Radha blames Narasimham that he is doing all these things because of some bad intention. Narasimham slaps Radha and reveals his past. He used to have a niece who has been trapped and cheated by a rogue in the name of love, for which she committed suicide. That's why he gets affectionate towards Radha and takes care of her. Radha also gets emotionally closer towards him. She says to Balakrishna that it is better to reveal the truth and Narasimham will understand them. But when Radha learns that Narasimham hates liars, she becomes frightened. So, both of them escape from that place, Narasimham gives a police complaint and also announces a reward for people who find Radha. The police and public are behind them. At last, they are caught by police and presented before Narasimham. Finally, Balakrishna accepts his mistake, resigns to his job and asks for pardon. Narasimham rejects it, gives him the promotion and makes a big laugh.
