Ramesh is doing his routine job in Bangalore. In his native village, his aunt lives with her children Gauri and Gunda. When Gauri attains puberty, her mother thinks of getting her married to Ramesh and writes a letter communicating the same though the village Sheregar. On hearing this, Ramesh starts daydreaming about his cousin and soon to be wife Gauri. He also tries to educate himself by trying to buy some adult books. Gauri however is still very immature and continues her playful acts like any oblivious kids in her village. Ramesh travels to the village to prepare for the marriage and tries to woe Gauri without much success. He is however eyed by another village belle Padhi who dreams of using Ramesh as her ticket to the city. After the marriage, Ramesh is lovelorn and not able to consummate as Gauri runs away from him. This frustrates Ramesh and with time he walks out into the arms of waiting Padhi. They begin a lusty affair and Ramesh ignores his wife completely. He even goes back to the city with Padhi without the knowledge of his family promising his wife to get her as soon as he finds a suitable home. Once back in the city, they start living as husband and wife. However, hypergamous Padhi loses interest in Ramesh and eyes the men around. She falls into a trap by a man who is into prostitution selling women to far Mumbai. When Ramesh finds out about Padhi's treachery he is angry but feels helpless. He gets worried about his future when police start making enquiry about Padhi and the man with whom she was seen. Back in the village his aunt along with his wife travel to Bangalore when they find that their letters were unanswered. They cannot track him in spite of visiting his work place as he has resigned.
