Plot[edit]

Through the efforts of two close friends and revered village heads, Sivananjay Gowda and Naraharappa, a coconut grove is raised to cool down the arid village with vegetation. Gowda, owner of grove, follows his astrologer’s advice and makes a “daan” of grove to his friend Narahari to escape his doom. Then, a priest and his wife scheme to grab the grove. A local tramp, Kariyappa, joins them whose evil designs are to appropriate all that Gowda possesses. The schemers entice Rama, Gowda’s prodigal son, and even maneuvre his marriage with Lakshmi. Eventually they succeed in sowing discord and bringing about a separation in the family. Rama demands and gets lion’s share in the property which he promptly squanders away.
