Plot

The film begins with Justice Rajeswari Devi, a rectitude who lives with her two younger brothers, Mohan & Ravi. Ravi is a stalwart who stands for the public's welfare, and they worship him. He moves out of law and rifles against the idle politicians to endeavor it. MP Chandra Shekar Rao and MLA Kunti Kanakaiah are among them, and in turn, he receives their enmity for his opprobrium. A gap arose between Rajeswari Devi and Ravi as their divergent paths led him to quit the house. After a few donnybrooks, Padma, the daughter of Kanakaiah, loves Ravi. Mohan counterfeits himself as upright, a man of iniquity who lures a club dancer, Saroja. Saroja's malice father, Seshu, learns that Mohan is Rajeswari Devi's brother and envies him since he is the discarded vagabond husband of Rajeswari Devi. Seshu raised their daughter Saroja against her mother. Chandra Shekar Rao employed a stratagem during the general election by knitting his son Raghu with Saraswathi, daughter of labor union leader Edukondalu, and triumphed. Soon after, he conspires to squat in their labor colony, which Edukondalu refuses. So, they slaughter Saraswathi and engender it as an accident.

Now, Rajeswari Devi is trialing the case. Chandra Shekar Rao tries hard to subdue Rajeswari Devi with Seshu, but she does not yield. So, they merged with a ruffian King Kong. They all concoct by setting up a maid, Kotamma, who wiles Mohan and extorts Rajeswari Devi. Thus, as a counterattack, she espouses Mohan with Kotamma. During their honeymoon, the means collude and incriminate Mohan by slaying Kotamma. Next, Ravi & Rajeswari Devi defy and move in their tracks to unveil the truth. Rajeswari Devi resigns and takes up the case as a defense council when Saroja becomes hard proof against Mohan as a payback. Afterward, Ravi dispels Saroja's fallacy and unites with her mother. Despite divulging the actuality, the judiciary denies Saroja's statement, and Rajeswari Devi is about to lose. During that plight, Ravi forwards his way, abducts Raghu, and makes him confess their sins. Unfortunately, King Kong slays Saroja when Rajeswari Devi accepts her defeat and boasts that Ravi will advance. At last, Ravi ceases the baddies and acquits Mohan of guilt. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Ravi & Padma.
