==Plot==
Johnny is a lorry driver with an insatiable sex drive. Married to Lissy, he has an eye for a young girl Sophie who has come to stay with them. He repeatedly tries to goad her to marry him, but she doesn't comply and Lissy gets angry on his behaviour and scolds him. In a fit of rage, he kills Lissy with a knife and rapes and kills Sophie and his eleven-year-old daughter Jeena. He is arrested and sent to the jail where he gets tortured by his jail mates.

Crime Branch Officer David J Mathew goes probing into the case and finds out that Johnny killed another person during the crime. When David and his men questions him, Johnny tells that the 4th person whom he killed was Kamal Pasha, a young man who hails from Bangalore. He reveals that he didn't kill his family and Pasha was the one who killed them. He reveals that Pasha was in love with Lissy but she didn't accept it and he was arrested for a false case made by her father Kochupaulose for loving her. Lissy didn't tell Johnny about Pasha as she didn't want Pasha to be killed by Johnny and she wants to live with him and Jeena. Johnny overhears the conversation between them. He also hears that Lissy was pregnant with Pasha's child and the child was Jeena. He tries to tell her that Jeena is his daughter but she says that Jeena is Johnny's daughter. Pasha wanted to take Lissy with him but she refuses. Angrily, Pasha goes to their house and kills Sophie and Jeena. When Lissy finds them dead, she slashes him on his hand with a knife and in a fit of rage, Pasha kills Lissy. In revenge, Johnny kills Pasha and throws his body to the river.

He tells the police that he killed his family as he considered it as a punishment of him planning to marry Sophie and for Lissy who planned a new life. He tells David to not tell the truth to anyone. David and his men report to the media that Johnny killed Pasha and his family when Lissy planned to marry Sophie to Pasha, to save her from Johnny and he couldn't tolerate it. He plans to reveal the truth once when they find Pasha's corpse.
