Plot

In a village lives an innocent guy Pullayya, (N. T. Rama Rao) who does not know anything about the world, his father Seshaiah (Koduru Achaiah) sends him to the city to work at Zamindarini Manorama Devi's (Chayadevi) house. The maid Kantham (Krishnakumari) takes a liking towards him. A distant relative of the deceased Zamindar, Bhupala Rao (Gummadi) controls the estate by enticing Manorama Devi. She is fond of her stepson Chinababu (Amarnath) and his wife Vasantha (Janaki). Bhupala Rao is after the wealth supposedly hidden under the Zamindar's Samadhi. Vasantha thwarts his dubious plans. In order to get rid of her, Rao spreads a rumor that she has an illicit relationship with Pullaiah. The pregnant Vasantha is thrown out of the house. Pullaiah takes her to his village and there she gives birth to a baby boy. Bhupala Rao hires men to demolish the Samadhi and in the process, assaults Manorama Devi and puts the blame on Pullaiah. Manorama Devi testifies against Bhupala Rao in the court, Pullaiah is released and Bhupala Rao and his cronies are punished. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Pullaiah & Kantham.
