The film begins at Hyderabad, where Ramu, a wealthy landlord who lost everything in the floods of Godavari, arrives with his family.

Inspector Kumar, the supercilious son of Narayana Rao, is specially appointed to seize the gang.

Parallelly, Cutting Master, a piety thief, befriends Ramu and crushes with plucky Malli.

Hereupon, Bhupathi covetously intrudes and threatens to make Ramu quiet, showing danger to his family, which he does.

Consequently, rickshaw races occur in which Ramu hits the big time at life risk and triumphs in graduating Mohan.

However, Narayana Rao, who provides fair treatment to all, accepts the match and aids Mohan to mold into the Police Inspector.

During that quandary, Narayana Rao allows Lakshmi to negotiate with Ramu, who flees from the jail, getting knowledge of the status quo.

At last, Ramu ceases Bhupati and shields all when Kumar attempts to skip, but duty-minded Narayana Rao prisons him.

The story was based on the Hindi film Bada Bhai produced and directed by K. Amarnath and released in 1957.

Sundarlal Nahata and T. Aswathanarayana, owners of Rajshri Productions bought the rights to remake the film in Telugu.
