The film begins with India - China war when a true patriot Madhava Rao toils for the welfare of the public with his daughter Bharati, niece Kasthuri, and his son Ravindra Nath serves in the Indian Army. Besides, his malicious brother-in-law Narasimham is a secret agent of the traitors but purports himself as a patriot. On the war front, Ravi is mislaid and seriously injured when a nurse Susheela rescues him and they fall in love. Grief-stricken Madhava Rao shifts to the residence of Ravi's bestie, Dr. Raghu a handicapped. Nevertheless, Bharathi endears and nuptials him. Parallelly, Narasimham's son Babu arrives from the states knitting a foreign girl Lilly. After some time, Ravi returns along with Susheela and conveys his intention to marry her which is opposed by Narasimham & his wife Sundaramma as they aspire to couple up Kasthuri with him. Despite Ravi moving ahead, just before the wedding, Susheela dies in a car accident when dispirited Ravi tours all over the country. During, as a flabbergast, he spots Susheela alive. Later he realizes her as Sujatha the twin sister of Susheela who enhances him and he proposes to her which she denies. However, Ravi follows her, when he learns Sujatha's alliance is already fixed with her fosterer's son Ramu whose whereabouts are not known. At present, the elders convince Sujatha to espousal when, unfortunately, the Indian army declares an emergency, so, Ravi pauses the wedding and leaves for the battlefield. At the same time, it is revealed, that Raghu is the only Ramu who stayed behind due to his disability. Meanwhile, Narasimham intrigues to destroy important runways of the country when Ravi breaks out his ploy. Here, surprisingly, Lilly turns into a CBI officer and apprehends him. Finally, Ravi is honored by Govt of India and the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ravi & Sujatha.
