Plot
George Bhayankar (Krishnam Raju) is a young & energetic guy who fights for the poor. The town's church Father James (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) admires Bhayankar's intentions but always tries to calm his aggressive nature. Parallelly, Bhayankar has a sister, Mary (Geetha), who loves Johnny (Suresh), the son of a multi-millionaire Parishudham (Hema Sundar). As she is scared of her brother, Mary shares her feeling with Father James for counsel. One day, Mary reveals to the Father that she's pregnant when Johnny went out of the station. Here, Father consoles her and assures that he is going to resolve the problem. Lakshmi (Vijayashanthi) the love interest Bhayankar, overhears the conversation, misunderstands the situation and divulges it to Bhayankar. In that anger, Bhayankar chides his sister, denounces the Father for his deed and assaults him. So, he gets arrested before leaving Bhayankar takes an oath that he will see the end of the Father and on the way he escapes. The next day morning, Mary is found died and her body is buried without a post-mortem. At that juncture, Father suspects it as a murder, so, he contacts his twin brother S.P. John Yugandhar (again Akkineni Nageswara Rao), a powerful police officer and asks him to conduct a post-mortem. Now as a flabbergast, Father James's dead body is found in Mary's coffin when S.P. exhumes. Currently, everyone suspects Bhayankar. The rest of the story is how S.P. breaks out the mystery and Bhayankar proves his innocence.
