Plot
The film begins in the Ratnapuri ruled by Amarasimha. Once, he proceeds to hunt where he locates a fine girl Ratnaprabha and they crush. Amarasimha introduces himself as an ordinary soldier to her. Considering it, Dharmapala the foster of Ratnaprabha rebukes. After returning, Amarasimha instructs his Chief Minister Sarpaketu to fix his alliance with Ratnaprabha. During the time of the nuptials, Ratnaprabha is blessed to view Amarasimha tying the knot. Besides, splenetic Sarpakaketu lusts Ratnaprabha and subterfuges by falsifying his paramour Manjula as a maid to snare her. Startlingly, an old monk meets Dharmapala who is unwrapped as Ratnabhupala, the bygone king of Ratnapuri and father of Ratnaprabha. Indeed, he is beaten by Amarasimha's father Veerasimha when he absconded, entrusted Ratnaprabha to Dharmapala, and went for penance. As of now, Ratnaprabha communicates with him via a secret path of which Amarasimha is also unbeknownst. Here, Manjula detects it and ruses by denouncing Ratnaprabha before Amarasimha who too suspects her by spotting her covetous contacts. Forthwith, he prisons Dharmapala and issues a blank royal assent to Sarpakaketu edict penalty to Ratnaprabha. Exploiting it, Sarpaketu stipulates his own. To prove her chastity Ratnaprabha must die, retrieve back, and knit Amarasimha 3 times without blowing her mark.
Today, Ratnaprabha dies by consuming poison and is buried. Before long, Sarpaketu digs her out and recoups giving the anti-dose. Being cognizant of the plight, the entire kingdom along with Dharmapala & Ratnabhupala are enraged. Shortly after being alive, Ratnaprabha gazes at Sarpaketu's diabolic shade who tries to molest her when Manjula blocks, and slain. At the same time, a dacoit Randhir is supposed to be the chief commander of Ratnabhupala strikes at Sarpaketu’s residence who shields and shelters Ratnaprabha, at his hamlet in the forest. Grief-stricken, Amarasimha again moves to hunt when Sarpaketu wiles to assassinate him, is secured by Randhir, and provides hospitality. Whereat, Ratnaprabha forges as Ranadhir's dumb daughter and espouses Amarasimha behind his back. Anyhow, he denies it and is seized. Parallelly, Sarpaketu's knowledge that his dark shade has cracked, so he mingles with Dharmapala, and crowns Ratnabhupala by assailing. Meanwhile, Ratnaprabha again forges as a girl with black shade and servers Amarasimha who seeks her aid to flee, which she accedes, if he is ready to wedlock her and he does so. After reaching the capital, Amarasimha is captured when Ratnaprabha divulges totality to her father. Presently, Ratnabhupala decrees death to Amarasimha, provided he can be freed if he splices his daughter. Since it is inevitable, he conjoins Ratnaprabha in the mask when she brings facts to light. At last, Amarasimha repents, and Sarpaketu is sentenced to life. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the reunion of Amarasimha & Ratnaprabha.
