Baggage carrier) is a 1954 Indian Tamil-language historical drama film directed by R. M. Krishnaswami.

Based on the play of the same name by Udumalai Narayana Kavi, it stars Sivaji Ganesan, Lalitha and Padmini.

The film revolves around a prince who, after hearing about the five maxims of life, goes through numerous adventures to evaluate their validity.

The king of Sundarapuri advises his three sons to get into business and earn money to save the crippling economy.

One of them reads out the five maxims of life: Sundarangathan is sceptical, and argues with the pandits before deciding to evaluate their validity.

Sundarangathan is not aware that Prema is having an extramarital affair with Seth Namakharam, and is staying back in the place for this reason.

Madhivanan, son of the minister and a friend of Sundarangathan, learns of the affair and visits Prema's palace twice to verify the same.

Prema sends her assistant to kill the worker, convincing Sundarangathan that the fourth maxim is true.

Prema realises her mistake and accepts her crime, says that Sundarangathan should marry Madhavi and commits suicide.
