In the house near where he lives, a poor family consisting of a widowed mother and several children reside.

Vijay introduces Moorthy to his family as a relative of a friend, and he quickly endears himself to everyone.

Raghuram plots to trick his father into choosing Radha as his bride, but bad timing ruins his plan.

Unaware of his identity, Radha is rude to Dasaratharaman in a bid to put off a marriage she doesn't want.

Moorthy, meanwhile, turns out to be a wanted criminal who tricks women into marriage to steal their jewellery.

Unable to get over the circumstances of his son's marriage, he makes sly comments disparaging Radha to everyone.
