Kunjoottan ([[Sreenivasan]]) is an innocent young man living in a remote village. He is the only heir to his rich, aristocratic parents, Thamburan ([[Nedumudi Venu]]) and Kunjulakshmi ([[Sukumari]]). He cannot stand his overprotective father, who is concerned about his son because he had a bad dream about his son's death. The family [[astrologer]] Panikker ([[Oduvil Unnikrishnan]]) confirms this and predicts that it will be difficult for Kunjoottan to survive the age of 30 and that he is in great danger from motor vehicles. Worried Thamburan hires two ex-[[Mahout]]s Valiya Raman Nair ([[Kuthiravattom Pappu]]) and Cheriya Raman Nair ([[Mamukkoya]]) to protect Kunjoottan, which further annoys him.
