Enters Arasayi (Kanaka), the fire-spitting lass who ends up marrying Uppili. She is daughter of the very man Murugesan (Shanmugasundaram) whom Uppili caught red-handed stealing temple jewels. While facts distorted, Arasayi believes Uppili to be the culprit and had come with the intention of having her revenge. However, matters get sorted out and all ends well with the villain getting his due. There is also thrack of Maragathammal (Sujatha) who looks after three temple accounts, her dumb daughter Usha (Yuvarani), her scraps with Sundaralingam, and Uppili timely help.
