Plot

Sundaram, a rich man, falls in love with an orphaned girl, and marries her over the objections of his elder brother. He sets up a home of his own with his wife, but when his family members persuade him to rejoin the household, he brings his wife to his brother's house. There is once again cheer and sunshine in his life. Trouble arises when he is away from the house to accept a new job offered to him. The son-in-law of the house, a magistrate, leaks out the news that the orphan girl has earlier been convicted by him for immoral traffic. At once, insults are heaped on her. Unable to bear the taunting remarks, the girl leaves the house and attempts. The real drama then begins and all ends well.

gollark: The modern economy is more efficient than that!
gollark: You think the gold at the end of rainbows is just left unused *sitting* there?
gollark: Actually, with modern satellite imaging and good cameras, prospecting companies are frequently able to track down the ends of rainbows and extract the gold within 10 minutes of materialization.
gollark: Well, the point is more that you just can't see into it.
