Satyam endears a school teacher, Susheela, who plans to nuptial after Shekar's graduation and Sarada's wedlock. Satyam strives hard for Shekar's civilization, for which he owes his paternal uncle Dharmaiah a loan shark. Although he is cutthroat, his son Sadanandam is good-natured, admires Satyam, and dotes on Sarada. In the town, Shekar neglects his studies by falling for Lalitha, the daughter of a tycoon [[Rao Bahadur]] Ranga Rao. Knowing it, Satyam moves to Ranga Rao, who agrees to knit them and aids in fixing an affluent alliance for Sarada with Dr. Ramesh. Satyam mortgages his house at Dharmaiah to cover the costs.

Satyam, a middle-class employee, leads a happy life along with his younger collegian brother Shekhar, as well a younger sister Sharada. He is in love with a school-teacher, Susheela, and both hope to get married after Sharada and Shekhar's marriages. Luck shines upon them and Sharada's marriage is arranged with Dr. Ramesh, while Shekhar decides to wed Lalitha, the only daughter of a wealthy man, Rao Bahadoor Ranga Rao. Satyam mortgages his house with his paternal uncle Dharmaiah. Then things turn sour after Sharada loses her vision in an accident; the wedding gets canceled. Satyam decides to remain single to look after his sister and permits Shekhar and Lalitha to get married. The marriage takes place, and Lalitha moves in. Shortly thereafter misunderstandings crop up, and lead to arguments, with Shekhar and Lalitha leaving the house. Then Satyam is fired from his job, Dharmaiah takes over the house, and asks him to leave. Homeless, they turn to Shekhar for help, but he refuses to assist them in any way. Then Satyam falls ill and gets separated from his sister, while Shekhar takes to horse-racing and alcohol, and a path that will only lead to self-destruction. |

Parallelly, as a glimpse, Sadanandam loves a girl, Hema, when avaricious Dharmaiah slyly splits them. So, Sadanandam migrates to the town and becomes a rickshawala. Following, Satyam unites Shekar & Lalitha, who cannot acclimate to their lifestyle and constantly denounces Sarada. Ergo, a rift arises between the siblings, and Shekar breaks apart into matrilocality. Amidst, Susheela approaches to support Satyam, but he denies it and decides to remain single for Sarada. Besides, Shekar takes the path of vices by Ranga Rao, who dies because of bankruptcy. Thus, repentance kicks off in Shekar & Lalitha and comprehends the virtue of kinship. Meanwhile, misfortunes arise for Satyam; he loses his job, and Dharmaiah seals their property when he proceeds to the town with Sarada, who resides on the pavement. However, Dharmaiah pays for his sins by losing his property in a fire accident. |

Eventually, Satyam falls sick, and Sarada rushes for a doctor. Fortuitously, she is acquainted with Ramesh, who detects her but is quiet and walks on with her. By that time, Satyam faints on her quest when Sadanandam secures him, and Ramesh shelters Sarada. He divulges his actuality, proposes to Sarada, which she admits is a boon, and communicates her whereabouts to Susheela. Satyam gets wind of Sarada and retrieves her without Ramesh's knowledge. Today is Sarada's birthday, and she bestows sweets to Satyam & Sadanandam. Now, she sets foot to feed Shekar but falls under a truck. Blessedly passing, Shekar spots her and admits her to the hospital. Here, Shekar begs for mercy from Satyam, being a penitent when all lands therein, including Susheela & Dharmaiah. At this, Ramesh saves Sarada and entreaties her hand, which Satyam does. Moreover, Satyam splices Susheela on Sarada's plea, and remorseful Dharmaiah joins Sadanandam & Hema. Finally, the movie ends happily with Ramesh & Sarada going abroad to recoup her vision. |
