Plot

Paramu Pillai, a struggling farmer, lives in a small village with his wife Kalyani, son Gopalan and daughter Meenakshi. Gopalan drops out of college and works for the welfare of agricultural labourers and small time farmers. Mathew, another leader of the agricultural workers union, supports Gopalan in his activities. Valiyaveetil Kesavan Nair, the local landlord, is cruel towards his workers. Gopalan becomes Kesavan Nair’s nemesis. Nair’s daughter Sumavalli is in love with Gopalan. Nair succeeds in taking possession of the holdings of some of the village's poor farmers. He later sets his eyes on Paramu Pillai’s land. He also begins to lust for Mala, the daughter of a small time farmer Karamban. Gopalan saves Mala from Nair, after which Mala takes a liking for Gopalan but withdraws in favour of Sumavalli. Nair’s nefarious plans and his anti-labourer attitude are exposed by Gopalan and his followers, following which Nair decides to take revenge. Gopalan is severely beaten and is hospitalised. Nair succeeds in taking possession of the lands of Paramu Pillai and Karamban via forged title deeds. Paramu Pillai, who was always against the policies of his son and his party, realises his ignorance. He joins the party procession that moves through the village, holding the Red Flag afloat. Because of the nefarious ways and the anti-worker policies of the wealthy, Paramu Pillai turns into a communist.
