Ganesha and Subrahmanya, two brothers, promised their late father that they would remain bachelors until they achieve something significant in their lives.
Ganesha, an architect, runs a construction firm, while younger brother Subrahmanya pursues fine arts.
Be it the girl residing in the house opposite to theirs or the middle-aged lady house-owner, they always find themselves in situations that they think could shake their principles.
Ganesha gets his keys, hurries to the bedroom and unlocks it, only to see the "unconscious" girl in a white shroud and her wet clothes lying in a heap, along with a poison bottle.
Ganesha is further put into a funny situation when he is about to hurry up the stairs to hand the dress to Vasantha, when the story-telling landlord arrives at his door, asking for a follow-up of his story.
Vasantha surely knows Ganesha is not really a celibate type of guy because he showed empathy and tried to help her when she was unconscious (this was a logic argued by the story-telling landlord previously).
Vasantha's another round of emotional drama makes Subrahmanya snatch the poison and convince Ganesha that they should talk to her going forward.
Ganesha gradually yet reluctantly develops a liking for Vasantha because of her helping nature, who now feels very comfortable and is cheerful.
She then suggests a novel approach to his architectural designing, which helps people who cannot afford expensive house construction methods.
Meanwhile, Subrahmanya too succeeds in his fine arts career and he acknowledges the role of a girl (Rama, the typist candidate) in his success.
Vasantha explains to Ganesha that she wanted him to change his views about women, by helping him out with his tasks at home as well as providing inputs with his professional goals.
Rama tells Ganesha that he was a tough nut to crack and so had asked her elder sister Vasantha to soften him up, with her emotional drama.
The story-telling landlord confiscates the letter (as dictated by Ganesha's and Subrahmanya's father) and tears it up, as Vasantha and Rama watch with broad smiles.
Manohar has also written the lyrics for this film, along with well-known poet K. S. Narasimha Swamy and B. Rudramurthy Shastri.
