The story is based on Chandanakkunnu panchayat, where rabies due to dog bites has become a fearsome epidemic. People in the panchayat seek all ways to kill the affected dogs. The incumbent panchayath president is challenged by Dasappan raising the insecurity the disease has spread in the place. To gain public support Dasappan brings Udumbu Vasu to the panchayat to kill the dogs. Vasu is lodged in Muthassi's house. Muthassi's granddaughter SreeDevi falls in love with Vasu after hearing about his orphaned life after his mother's death from a dog bite. Meanwhile, Palayar Manikkyam, Sreedevi's father's murderer, makes a ruckus in the house for getting him arrested for the murder. This instigates a fight between Vasu and Manikkyam. Within few days Vasu gets bitten by a dog and gets with rabies. Manikkyam tries to use this situation to kill Vasu, but instead Vasu kills him.
