Chinna Rasu (Charan Raj) is a rich landlord who treasures his lovely little sister Sarasu (Shruthi). They both lived together with their family friend Azhagu (Pandu). Chinna Rasu is one of the richest people in his village, and he looks for the perfect groom for his sister.

In the meantime, Kodeeswaran (Janagaraj), a cheat game addict, looks for a wealthy bride for his son Baskar (Vikram Krishna) who could afford him a huge dowry. Baskar is a bank officer and perfect gentleman. The marriage broker Chitti (Thalaivasal Vijay) informs Kodeeswaran about Chinna Rasu's fortune. With Chitti's help, Kodeeswaran pretends to be a wealthy businessman and lies about his family condition to Chinna Rasu. Finally, Baskar and Sarasu get married. Kodeeswaran considers Sarasu as The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs, then he pressures her for money. A few weeks later, when Chitti asks his commission to Kodeeswaran, Kodeeswaran refuses to pay and insults him. In anger and feeling guilty for ruining an innocent girl's life, Chitti reveals all the truth to Azhagu.
