Mohan (Mohan Babu), a childhood friend of Anji comes to that village as a police inspector. The president of that village tries to occupy the ashram by hook or by crook. He even sets the ashram on fire, but Anji, in an attempt to save children, loses his left eye. Swamiji requests Mohan to marry Anji's sister, but Laxmi is already in love with her classmate Prembabu. However, when Prembabu behaves nastily, Anji beats him black and blue, and Prembabu dies later. Now, Inspector Mohan is forced to arrest Chiranjeevi. Meanwhile, Swamiji is prohibited from entering the village on the pretext of he being the thief of temple's ornaments. The village's president is behind this conspiracy. All of a sudden, Chakravarthy, a world-famous disco dancer, comes to that village, who is none other than Anji in disguise, and proves his innocence in Prembabu's murder case. The president is found guilty for all the evil happenings and is arrested. The story ends with Mohan marrying Laxmi.
