Plot
Rao Bahadur Thirumalingam Pillai borrows from all and sundry, and spends relentlessly. Zamindar Karunakaram Pillai is an innocent simpleton, and a good man. He is on the quest for the perfect match for his granddaughter Manjula. Thirumalingam Pillai wants his London-returned son, Dr. Thiyagarajan to marry Manjula and take all of Karunakaram Pillai's assets. Thiyagarajan is married to Leela, who is pretending to be a maid-servant and works in Thiyagarajan's home. Manjula is in love with Nagarajan, Leela's brother, who reciprocates and is jailed for being a revolutionary and a part of the independence struggle. Nagarajan is released from jail, and to set the affairs straight and teach Thirumalingam Pillai a lesson, he pretends to be a big-time Zamindar and stays in Karunakaram Pillai's home, who now wants Nagarajan to marry Manjula. Thiyagarajan gets involved in the drama without anyone's invite or knowledge, thus producing situational humor by posing as a prospective groom for Manjula and flirting with his maid/wife much to his father's horror. Confusion and comedy follow, while in the end Thirumalingam Pillai learns his lesson and all the pairs are united.
