The film begins at Ratnagiri with Zamindar Rao Bahadur Raja Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Gopalam and his only heir, Venu. Gauri is the daughter of peasant Somaiah. They crush and knit secretly in a temple. Zamindar is conscious of it in Venu's absence and takes an oath from Gauri to discard Venu adherent to prestige. However, she conceived till then, who quiets dispute mortifications because of gratitude and quits the town with her father. Soon, Gauri delivers a baby boy whom Somaiah withdraws to an orphanage and declares his death.
Meanwhile, Venu returns, and his inquiries lead him to suspect Gauri's fidelity. Grief-stricken, he turns a wanderer and alcoholic. After eight years, Venu & Gauri's son Gopi becomes an intelligent at the orphanage. Destiny appoints Gauri as a teacher in the same school and expresses passionate affection for Gopi. Once, Venu visits its annual day, where he becomes fascinated by Gopi. Presiding over, he encounters Gauri and terminates her. Due to an unknown affinity, Venu adopts Gopi and relinquishes his vices at his insistence.
Following this, Sowkar Subbaiah, a wealthy man, forwards the bridal connection of his daughter, Rajani. Venu accepts it on the force of Gopi. Terminally ill Somaiah confesses his sin and announces Gauri, Gopi, as her child. She perturbs his whereabouts but in vain. Fortuitously, she meets Gopi in a temple, states the fact, and is delighted to know that his father is rearing him. Gauri also learns about Venu's wedlock and asks Gopi to be silent. During the espousal, Rajani conflicts with Gopi, which creates chaos. Gopi detests her and walks to retrieve Gauri. Somaiah & Gauri rush to the palace and try to exit with Gopi. Venu intercepts Gauri, who seeks the boy's parentage and abuses her, but she thresholds the pain. At last, Zamindar collapses and bows his head before Gauri's stoicism. Hence, he divulges the actuality and pleads pardon. Finally, the movie ends happily with Gopi uniting his parents.
