Plot

Rudramaraju, alias Rudrayya is arrested for brutally hacking a local thug. The judge however frees with some hidden agenda. It is revealed that Rudraiah had given shelter to Latha, the adopted daughter of a wealthy Easwara Rao, when the latter was forced into marrying the good-for-nothing Venkatagiri by her uncle Phanibhushan Rao. Phanibhushan unsuccessfully persuades her in returning back to her estate. His plot to take her forcefully is thwarted by Rudraiah forcing his goons to kidnap and murder Rudraiah's sister, Lakshmi as retaliation. Rudraiah killed one of those thugs in the beginning and now proceeds to finish off Rao and his lieutanant, Kotigadu. He learns from Yashodhara Devi who has resigned her position that the same goons had killed her husband and kidnapped her only daughter several years ago. However, Rao manages to get a recording of Devi confessing to have freed Rudraiah on purpose despite knowing him to be culpable and gives it to higher authorities thereby getting her arrested. An enraged Rudraiah now sets out on a crusade to rescue Latha from the evil Rao and get him punished for his crimes. How he accomplishes his task forms the rest of the story.
