He falls for a beautiful girl Suguna (Savitri) daughter of a farmer Sambaiah (Koduuri Achaiah) The village head Ganapati (S. V. Ranga Rao) poses himself as a devotee but factually a malevolent person who tries to cease Chandram's activities along with his associate Shankaram (Ramana Reddy). Once Ganapathi tries to molest his henchmen Kondaiah's (Nagabhushanam) wife Shantha (T. G. Kamala Devi) the cousin of Chandram but she escapes. Keeping that grudge in mind, he slanders against Shanta that she has illicit relations with Chandram when Kondaiah necks her out. Meanwhile, Ganapathi exploits Sambaiah and he decides to couple up Suguna with him to which she refuses. So, Ganapathi & Shankaram ploys & indicts Chandram in a crime and he is sentenced. Parallelly, Ganapathi also implicates Kondaiah in a black-marketing case and sends him jail. In prison, Chandram makes Kondaiah realize his mistake. After release, the bravo Chandram stands courageously for justice, gives a check to the baddies and makes them punished for their deeds. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chandram & Suguna.
