During the time of their engagement, Srihari Rao's sister Durgamma (Suryakantham) denounces Shekar's mother Janakamma (Santha Kumari) as a woman of ill repute. Knowing it, Srihari Rao necks them out when Janakamma also claims it true, distressed Shekar leaves the house accusing his mother. After some time, wanderer Shekar presented in the court for a petty case where the Judge, Raghava Rao recognizes Shekar as his son, so, he acquits and takes him home without revealing his identity. Meanwhile, Srihari Rao compels Shobha for another alliance, so, she runs away, and reaches her cousin Geeta (Lakshmi) a nurse who, fortunately, serves Raghava Rao. Afterward, Shekar also learns the truth when he puts Raghava Rao down for deceiving his mother but later he realizes his virtue. Right now, both of them move for Janakamma but her whereabouts are not known, so, they proceed toward Srihari Rao and prove Janakamma's chastity. At present, Raghava Rao wants to perform the marriage of Geeta & Shekar and for his father's happiness, Shekar too agrees. Parallelly, Janakamma joins as a maid in the house of a wealthy woman Vasundhara (P.R.Varalakshmi), and her husband Jaganatham (Satyanarayana) a vicious person, displays as mentally ill.

Thereafter, Jaganatham intrigues that he went on a pilgrimage, slaughters Vasundhara, indicts Janakamma, and returns as Satyanandam. At this juncture, the case goes into sessions when Raghava Rao witnesses Janakamma, becomes perturbed, and informs Shekar. Now, Shekar decides to affirm the truth for which he chases Jaganatham / Satyanandam.
