== Plot ==
The story revolves around a spy ring in Japanese-occupied Burma headed by a Tamil woman named Mangalam. She keeps the Japanese army commander and the principal antagonist of the movie General Bakjina under her surveillance. However, things turn awry when three Indian pilots in the British Indian Air Force are captured and taken prisoner and one of them (played by [[T. S. Balaiah]]) is eventually killed. The story of the escape of the other two pilots forms the plot of the movie. The character of the Japanese general Bakjina is a spoof of [[Adolf Hitler]].
