Plot

The film begins in a village where a peasant, Venkaiah, knits benevolent Lakshmamma after the death of his first wife, who dotes on her stepson, Seshu. Following this, she is blessed with a child, Shekar. Years roll by, and Venkaiah becomes wealthy with his striving. Seshu weds a wise Janaki and takes care of family tasks. He endears Shekar a lot and aims to carve him as an advocate. So, he proceeds to higher education with their maternal uncle Subbarayudu's son, Chal Mohan. Whereat, Shekar turns debauchery by the snare of a dancer, Vanaja. Learning it, Venkaiah passes away, entrusting the totality to Seshu with the assurance that he will reform his brother. Meanwhile, Janaki's parents arrive and create a rift, which makes Lakshmamma spurn the house. However, Seshu secretly safeguards his mother, and with the aid of Chal Mohan, he relieves Shekar from his vices. Now, Shekar backs when Subbarayudu exploits him to confront his brother for the share. Thus, Shekar comprehends Seshu's virtue and seeks pardon. By the time Chal Mohan divulges the sly shade of Janaki's parents when she, too, repents. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the family's reunion.
