Shekher and Sithara, with Janagaraj, V. K. Ramasamy, Vennira Aadai Moorthy, Vinu Chakravarthy, Livingston, Kovai Sarala and Roopa Sree playing supporting roles.

The poor Pattabi is not helped by his irresponsible father Sundaram (Janagaraj) who always bets on horse races, his father-in-law Periya Karuppu Thevar (Vinu Chakravarthy) who only supports Parimala's choices and his nosy neighbour Vaidhyanathan (Vennira Aadai Moorthy) who doesn't miss an opportunity to put Pattabi in trouble.

One day, Parimala throws Sundaram out of their house, for Pattabi it's the straw that broke the camel's back.

Sundaram returns home with his newfound mistress Margaret (Kovai Sarala) and her daughter Julie (Roopa Sree).

Periya Karuppu Thevar is hell bent to save his family's prestige so Shyamala passes off as Parimala.
