The father is a gambler and the elder son (Balaji) is a womaniser and alcoholic. He, however, ends up marrying a traditional woman (Pandari Bai), who takes it upon herself to reform the family. The family maid (Devika) takes care of the younger son (Rajendran) and the two get married, with the blessings of the family.[1]
