The film begins with the marriage of Giri (Rajendra Prasad) and Seeta (Rajani). Seeta is an Orthodox woman, who troubles Giri with her traditional customs on the provocation of her grandmother Akhilandeswari (Nirmalamma). Giri works at the branch office of a chit fund company owned by Krishna (Nutan Prasad). Krishna leads a happy family life with his wife Radha (Y. Vijaya). Once he visits the branch office, appreciates Giri's sincerity, gives him the promotion and he is transferred to head office. In the process of searching for a rental house, Giri is attracted to a prostitute Sandhya (Chandrika). But to his misfortune, they were caught by Police. To escape, he introduces her as his wife, and for the witness, they call Krishna. Krishna takes them and keeps them in his opposite house, helpless Giri has to obey his order. Meanwhile, Seeta along with her grandmother reaches Giri. Now a confusing drama starts and Giri is stuck between both. Meanwhile, Sandhya's elder sister Ranganayaki (Mamatha) also enters the scene and makes a lot of mess. They also create disputes between Radha and Krishna. The rest of the story is a comic tale of how Giri gets rid of all these problems.
The film begins with the marriage of a beautiful duet, Giri & Sita. Being an orthodox woman, Sita harries her husband Giri with her rigid mores by the goad of her eccentric grandmother Akhilandeswari. Giri is an employee in a branch office of a chit-fund company owned by Krishna. He resides in [[Hyderabad]] and leads a delightful life with his loving wife, Radha. Once Giri is conscious of his arrival for inspection, when Sita spoils an extensive line for her idiocy, Giri rebukes. Startlingly, Krishna appreciates Giri's sincerity and transfers him to the head office, bestowing him with upgradation. Giri walks on, questing for a home rental, but in vain. Whereat, he met with a hooker Sandhya on a train journey. Both advance to a hotel when the guilt of betraying Sita haunts Giri and backs. Suddenly, a hardship knocks through the Police raid. To abscond, Giri proclaims Sandhya as his wife before Inspector Ramadasu, who calls Krishna for evidence.
 
Consequently, it locks Giri since Krishna accommodates the two as his neighbors, and he quiets because of job security. Over the top, Sita & Akhilandeswari approach Giri, who throws him into a dichotomy. Now, he juggles between them, with various trials he undergoes to avoid suspicion. As a glimpse, Prasad, Krishna's brother-in-law & hand, is hounded by his wife Janaki with her terrific poems—additionally, Kannaiah, a laundryman, choruses if she kicks off. Over the top, Kasipati, his adjoin & colleague, who is regretful for tiny things, hugs Janaki mistakenly. From there, he tortures Prasad for an apology.  
 
Meanwhile, Sandhya's avarice, sister Ranganayaki lands and the siblings threaten and try to loot Giri. Ranganayaki also lures Krishna when Radha is shady. Plus, Giri downlinks his doing for Krishna before Sita & Akhilandeswari and forges him as a tomcat. Fortuitously, Akhilandeswari meets Radha, who gives faux propaganda about Krishna, bearing Giri's words in mind when a rift arises and they split. Giri suddenly has to vacate the house with Sita by Akhilandeswari's fuss, and they check into a hotel room. Due to the adversity, Ramadasu reemerges therein and apprehends them. Being notified, Krishna steps to the Police Station when Giri divulges the totality. Hereupon, Sandhya & Ranganayaki sham as a courtesy and incriminate Giri. Ramadasu breaks the actuality, seizes the knaves, and acquits Giri with a warning. At last, he pleads pardon from Krishna and reunites him with Radha. Finally, the movie ends happily.
