In the coastal village is rich man Mariadas ([[Mansoor Ali Khan (actor)|Mansoor Ali Khan]]) whose main occupation is to terrorise the villagers and cavort with his girl friend ([[Silk Smitha]]).

After an encounter with the henchman of Mariadas, Rajasimham is arrested by the police inspector ([[Vijayakanth]]) and put behind bars. The inspector, after a few fights with Mariadas crowd, is transferred to Delhi but gets Rajasimham released before leaving. The inspector advises the rowdy to change his ways.

Rajasimham comes back to the village and ekes out his living as a fisherman assisting Anthony. Mariadas, who has an eye on Mary, destroys Rajasimham's boat but he takes it his in stride.
