Once, Raja clashes with a spirited lady, Radhabai, and contretemps goes on. Besides, Kotilingam, a business ally of Chakrapani, conducts manipulations and schemes to slay his associate via his son Giri. Raja breaks the ploy, sentences Giri, and Chakrapani blackballs him. Consequently, Ranga Rao, a trustworthy worker, slaps Kotilingam and victimizes his avenge by amputation of his leg. Whereat, Bhaskar, the son of Ranga Rao, takes up his post, who is in love with Chakrapani's daughter Nirmala.
