Plot

Narasimham, an industrialist, a chronic martinet bachelor. Balakrishna is his stanch who enacts moving in his footsteps, but he crushes with Radha and backs their splice to seek promotion. Since it is inevitable that Radha's father, Parvathalu, Balakrishna secretly knits Radha. Forthwith, Parvathalu detaches the twosome until his goal. So, Balakrishna schemes the honeymoon as a pilgrimage and forges his grandmother's death at Narasimham. During the journey, unexpectedly, they spend a night at their office guest house. Startlingly, Narasimham visits and spots Radha, who bluffs as she arrives at an interview. However, Narasimham discerns something fishy and enrolls her as his secretary. Besides, Balakrishna hides with the aid of watchman Lingaiah and moves various pawns to free Radha, but in vain. Then Radha accuses Narasimham and smacks her, revealing his past. At one time, his niece was stung on behalf of love, which led to her suicide. Hence, he shields Radha when she comprehends his virtue and tells Balakrishna to divulge the actuality. He is terrified and aware of Narasimham's hostility toward sharks. So, they abscond when Narasimham files a case and announces a reward; as a result, the public & Police are behind them. At last, they are caught and presented before Narasimham when Balakrishna pardons, admitting his error. Finally, the movie ends happily with Narasimham promoting Balakrishna and making a big laugh.
