Plot

A Zamindar (C.S.R) lives a happy life with his wife Radha (M. V. Rajamma), but the only thing that bothers them is that they do not have children. Pushpa (Lakshmikantham) is a dancer who earns money through performances at Madras. Once, the Zamindar comes to Madras, where he finds Pushpa, who met with a car accident and takes her to hospital. She and her acolyte Appala Swamy (Kasturi Siva Rao) trap the Zamindar and he decides to marry Pushpa. The Zamindar convinces Radha and takes Pushpa to his house. Slowly Pushpa takes the entire house under her control and starts dominating Radha. As time passes, Radha becomes pregnant. At the time of delivery, the Zamindar has to go out of the city. Greedy Puspha and Appala Swamy throw the newborn boy in the dustbin and say that she had a miscarriage. Ramudu (K. V. Ramana Rao), a sweeper, notices the baby in the dustbin and takes with him and names him Mallayya. Ramudu’s wife Lachi (Gangaratnam) is working in the Zamindar’s house. The Zamindar’s wife starts loving Mallayya, who accompanies his mother to work. Pushpa beats Mallayya and Ramudu questions Pushpa as to why she beat his son. The Zamindar gets angry and sends them away. Radha comes to Ramudu’s home to see Mallayya, when the Zamindar suspects her chastity. In anger, he beats her very badly and everyone thinks that she is dead. Pushpa says to Appala Swamy to throw away the body. In shock, the Zamindar becomes mentally disturbed. But actually, Radha is alive, who starts living secretly by working on daily wages. Ramudu and Lachi, along with Mallayya also leave that village. Years roll by, Mallayya (N. T. Rama Rao) becomes a sculptor and falls in love with a beautiful girl Kannamma (Jamuna). Once Radha meets with an accident and Mallaya and Kannamma save her. Radha starts staying in Kannamma's house. Ramudu and Lachi also recognizes Radha as their past owner. Meanwhile, Pushpa is enjoying the entire property by locking the Zamindar in a room, where he realizes his mistake of neglecting his good wife Radha and that having two wives is a wrong thing. Radha comes to know regarding the situation of the Zamindar, so she goes to meet him, but Pushpa and Appala Swamy throw her out of the house. The Zamindar observes all this when he threatens Appala Swamy and Pushpa; they reveal the entire truth that Radha is alive and they have thrown the newborn baby into the dustbin. At the same time, Ramudu and Lachi also reach there along with Mallayya and tell the Zamindar that the child is none other than Mallayya, whom he has adopted. The Zamindar and Mallayya go in search of Radha and bring her back home. Pushpa dies by taking poison. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Mallaya and Kannamma.
