Plot[]

The film begins in a village where Zamindar Bangaraiah (Dhulipala) is a wealthy tyrant and his son Raja (Krishnam Raju) is also a swaggerer. Gopalam (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) the son of Seetaiah (Gummadi) the trustworthy peasant of the Zamindar, always gives a tough fight to their atrocities. Due to circumstances, Gopalam has to work as a laborer at the Zamindar's house. Meanwhile, Zamindar's daughter Geeta (Kanchana) a vainglorious woman lands at the village after completing her studies. Both Raja and Geeta humiliate Gopalam, which he endures. During that time, panchayat elections arrive, Gopalam decides to take a stand against Zamindar when they place an unusual wager that Gopalam is offered Geeta as the prize. Ultimately, Gopalam wins and seeks Geeta's hand when perturbed Zamindar tries to commit suicide. At this point in time, Geeta is compelled to marry Gopalam, but she treats him badly and also makes charges against him when Gopalam takes a vow that until she accepts him, he is going stay away from her. Afterward, he forcibly habituates her to a penniless lifestyle when Raja becomes furious and tries to molest Gopalam's sister Radha (Geetanjali), but she escapes. In that anger, she tries to put fire to the Zamindar's crop when Gopalam obstructs her claiming that it is an effort of the farmers. Exploiting it, Raja puts fire to the crop, indicts Gopalam and severely punishes him in the panchayat. To keep up Radha's honor, Gopalam remains silent when Geeta understands the virtue of her husband and brings out the truth. At last, people revolt against Zamindar and Raja. Finally, the movie ends with Gopalam and Geeta leading a happy marital life.
