Varadarajan, a lawyer in Madras, is murdered, plunging his family into chaos. Ramu, the elder son takes the blame for the crime to save Murthy, his young half-brother. In his escape, the fugitive can count on the indestructible support of two women, Vasantha and Meena who love him (the first one officially and the second one secretly). He is also helped by Velaiya, who worked at the brother's house before the misfortune. Ramu is chased by the policeman Mogan, persuaded by his guilt and also by criminal Kannan and his band, who want into his colossal fortune, conspiring since the beginning, with Varadarajan, much less honest than we could hope for of a lawyer. Ramu leads an investigation to prove his innocence and produce the real culprit, who is found to be Kannan. Ramu will finally emerge as innocent thanks to the testimony swapping with his girlfriend, Parvathi alias Chandra. She was present when Kannan struck the fatal blow to Varadarajan. Towards the end of its trip, as ultimate test, pricked by a dangerous snake, Ramu owes his safety only to the older brother of his beloved deceased Vasantha, the fairground entertainer Muthaiyandhi. Ramu can find comfort from now on in the arms of the one who became, in this precarious adventure, his deserved wife, Meena.
The songs were composed by K. V. Mahadevan, while the background music was scored by Violin Mahadevan. Lyrics were penned by A. Maruthakasi.[3][4]
