After a string of robberies, Balaram (Major Sundararajan) flees the country abandoning his wife Parvathi (Pandari Bai) and son. Cruel circumstances separate mother and child, leaving the young boy under the care of a good man named Sekhar (Jaishankar), who raises him into a well educated gentleman. Sekhar falls in love with Saratha (Rajasree), who is the only daughter of wealthy banker, Ranganathan (V. S. Raghavan). Meanwhile, Balaram returns to the country and with the help of his step son Mohan (Srikanth) runs a shady business under the alias, Balasundaram.
