Plot

The story begins; Badegao is ruled by Marathi ruler Siddhoji (Govindarajula Subba Rao). Since he had no children, he brings up his elder brother's three sons – Somoji (C.H.Narayana Rao), Subandhi (?) and Firoji (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) like his own sons. All the respects due to the King and his consort are performed first to them. At this, Siddhoji's wife Rukkubai (Kannamba) who is jealous of the boys, sows seeds of hatred against them in her husband's mind. She plans to spoil the marriage of Firoji with Raghubai (T. G. Kamala Devi). Siddhoji banishes the three princes from Badegao and sends them to rule Pathikonda. Rukkubai plots with Diwanji to kill the three princes by inviting them to the palace to discuss the marriage proposal. However, Raghubai helps them escape. At the same time, Siddhoji declares war on Pathikonda and his army burns the fort. Somoji's wife Anthumbai (Kumari) escapes with her son Tule Rao. Siddhoji chases her. In the sword fight that ensues, Anthumbai emerges victorious. Since Pathikonda is out of bounds for her, she takes shelter at Gollapalle. Somoji and his brothers also reach there. They possess the hereditary riches after Firoji valiantly undertakes a journey to please their deity Yellamma. The news reaches Rukkubai and she employs the dreaded Mari to eliminate the brothers and they succeed in killing Somoji and capturing Subandhi. Anthumbai provokes the people to revolt against Siddhoji and she leads the war. In an unexpected turn of events, Firoji becomes the king of a neighbouring country and he too invades Badegao with a huge army. Siddhoji is killed in the war. Rukkubai repents for her act. Firoji marries Raghubai.
