Plot
The film begins in a village where Gopi / Pandu, a callow, is raised by grandparents, Bhushaiah & Parvathamma, who dote on him. He constantly pesters the public with his naughty deeds and irks the local vicious loan shark, Papa Rao, to whom Bhushaiah is also indebted. Meanwhile, in the city, Amala is the daughter of a tycoon, Koteswara Rao, and is Papa Rao's niece. Once, she visits the village and acquaints Gopi with a squabble. Later, she starts liking him after he shields her against harm. Suddenly, Koteswara Rao passes away, entrusting the totality to Amala and assigning his trustworthy Advocate, Chidanandam, as her guardian. However, the sly relatives surround Amala to usurp her wealth. They are her younger maternal uncle Gandabherundam and paternal aunt Kanthamma, who scheme to espouse with their sons Prasad & Buchi.

Aside from this, Bhushaiah fixes Gopi's alliance, which Papa Rao's ruse calls off by impairing Gopi, an alcoholic. Thus, he expels Gopi, who lands at the city where Chidanandam shelters him, via whom Amala, too, chances upon him. Now, she civilizes, molds him into an allrounder, and they crush him. Following this, Amala appoints Gopi as her secretary, masking their familiarity, and he mocks the knaves. Parallelly, Papa Rao evicts Bhushaiah's couple, who move in quest of Gopi. Due to Gandabherundam's debilitation by Gopi, he gives a ring to Papa Rao, who detects him. Hence, the heels abduct the Bhusaiah couple and menace Gopi to discard Amala's life, which he does. Plus, they are intrigued to knit Amala with Prasad. Whereat, they desert Kanthamma, who rushes to Gopi & Chidambaram, declaring Gandabherundam as Koteswara Rao homicide since he discerned his scam. At last, Gopi ceases them and shields his grandparents. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Gopi & Amala.
