Plot[]

Dharmaiah and Satyam are friends and favorite students of Bhavani Prasad. Satyam is the son of Bhushaiah, a rich landlord. Dharmaiah is the son of Kotaiah, a laborer. Nagaraju, an unruly kid, is the son of Papaiah, the village president. The animosity between landlords Papaiah and Bhushaiah is reflected in the lives of their children. Nagaraju challenges Satyam about their ability to buy tickets for a circus show. Satyam unsuccessfully tries to get money from his parents, Bhushaiah and Shantamma. As part of the plan to earn money, Dharmaiah lies that Satyam committed suicide. Shantamma dies of shock, and Satyam and Dharmaiah decide to never lie again.

Prasad files a case against Papaiah about mixing salt in ammonia fertilizer. Dharmaiah tells the Collector, and it causes Papaiah to lose his reputation and his father Kotaiah to lose his job. Dharmaiah escapes from the house and hides in Bhushaiah's cattle house to avoid the ire of his father. Kotaiah searches for his son and reaches the cattle house with a lamp, and the grass catches on fire. Bhushaiah's group catches Kotaiah and misunderstands that Papaiah sent him. Satyam comes to the rescue and gives evidence before the Collector to save Kotaiah. None of the village elders, Papaiah, Bhushaiah, and Kotaiah, can understand the intensity of the friendship between Dharmaiah and Satyam and their commitment to the truth. Satyam and Dharmaiah escape from the village and face several problems in the city. Prasad discovers that militant revolutionaries led by his childhood friend Bhanu (Krishnam Raju) are going to kill Papaiah, and he tells Satyam and Dharma to inform Papaiah. Militants and police face a fight, and the rebel leader is injured and caught. The movie ends with village elders Bhushaih, Papaiah, and Kotaiah recognising the need for honest people like Dharmaiah and Satyam in the village.
