Saroja goes into the trap of a vicious person Seshagiri (Satyanarayana) who deceives her in the name of love when everyone assumes her as dead. After five years, Ravi in search of a job meets his father's friend Raja Rao (Kanta Rao) when his only daughter Jyothi (Lakshmi) loves Ravi, and with his help Ravi start-up the industry. Once, on the occasion of Jyothi's birthday, Ravi is surprised to see Saroja as a dancer. Perturbed Ravi secretly meets her when she reveals the betrayal of Seshagiri and also regarding her baby girl, Uma (Baby Anuradha). Now Ravi takes up the responsibility for the baby and accommodates Saroja as a nurse at his close friend Dr.Prasad (Giri Babu). Parallelly, Ravi raises day by day and Purushotham & Raja Rao fixes the alliance of Ravi & Jyothi. At this junction, Chidambaram (Allu Ramalingaiah) a sly maternal uncle of Ravi joins as his manager who shacks hands with Seshagiri, both of them make-believe that Ravi has illicit relation with Saroja and also exploits Venu to sue against his brother. Here everyone accuses Ravi including Purushotham & Jyothi. Soon, they all realize his virtue after witnessing Saroja. At this point, shockingly, Seshagiri is spot dead and Ravi is indicted for the crime. Just before the judgment, Purushotham arrives & announces himself as the homicide and also affirms Saroja as his daughter. At last, Purushotham passes away.
