Once in the exchange, Sarvanamam's son Suresh ([[Sudhakar (actor)|Sudhakar]]) stole 5 lakhs from Raju and puts the blame on him. So Sarvanamam keeps Raju's mother ([[Lakshmi Kanakala]]) in his custody until he returns his money. Now Raju has to earn a total 10 lakhs to save his mother and to gain his love. To acquire it, Raju is in search of secret hidden treasures with help of his Professor ([[J. V. Ramana Murthi|Ramana Murthy]]).
