Plot[edit]

Alli (Manorama) is a veritable jungle queen who rescues Rajangam (R. S. Manohar), where a gang of robbers attack him in the forest. She loses her heart to him, but he turns her down. So, the rifle-toting heroine forces him to marry her at gunpoint. When the villain abducts Rajangam's brother for ransom, it's Alli who comes to the rescue again. How this and other events unite the couple forms the rest of the movie.[1]
