Circumstances separate mother and child, leaving the young boy under the care of Sekar, who raises him into a well educated gentleman. Sekar falls in love with Sarada, the only daughter of a wealthy banker, Ranganathan. Meanwhile, Balaram returns to the country and, with the help of his stepson Mohan, runs a shady business under the alias, Balasundaram.
