Synopsis
Amarakkadan Pathrose is a name to local goon with in village Muthangakuzhi. He is the monarch of all that he surveys, thanks to his rough and ready methods. Fear stalks the village whenever he gets into ‘action’. His son, Johnson is everything that the fear-inspiring father is not. He goes out of his way to be nice to one and all, in an effort to erase the bad reputation set by his father. Johnson has always cherished the dream of becoming a policeman. Ever since his childhood, Johnson has been good in sports. Thanks to his excellence in athletics, the villagers start calling him Ben Johnson because of his physical resemblance to the famous Canadian sprinter.
Johnson manages to become a sub-inspector (SI) in Kerala police, under the sports quota! As destiny would have it, Johnson is posted as the SI in his own village of Muthangakuzhi. Now he is driven by a missionary zeal to rid the village of rowdies and baddies, both social as well as political.
