Ramu (MGR) is an innocent & cowardly one – the heir to all riches of Poonjolai Jamin. He has been raised that way by Susheela (Pandari Bai) and his sister's husband Narendran Gajendran (M. N. Nambiar). Ramu shivers at the very mention of his brother in law's name and a whiplash is Narendran's favorite form of punishment. Narendran wants to get Ramu married to Leela (B. Saroja Devi) for her wealth and he demands dowry, but she is turned off by his cowardice.
