[1] The film begins in a village where Inspector Ananda Rao, a newly appointee, comes across sundry characters: the diabolic president Bhushaiah, a benevolent Dr. Dharmaiah, and his sister Radha, a schoolteacher.

Indeed, Madhu belongs to a Zamindar family who lost all, and the village ostracizes him, including his beloved Radha.

Currently, he makes rowing a boat his livelihood, and the only one showing affection for him is the cute village girl Manga.

Exploiting it, Bhushaiah heists the amount, incriminating Madhu, so Zamindar files a case that sentences him.

Listening to it, Anand Rao repents and embarks on a mission by reforming Madhu when the two turn into besties.
