Ranga Rao (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) is called 'Poolarangadu', because of his purity of life. His father Veerayya (Chittor V. Nagaiah) is a manager at a mill, and is framed for the murder of one of the partners, Purushotham. He is sent to jail for a crime he didn't commit. Rangadu works hard to get his sister Padma (Vijaya Nirmala) educated. She marries a Dr. Prasad (Shobhan Babu), who happens to be Purushotham's son. When he finds out she is Veerayya's daughter, he leaves her. Rangadu is enraged and beats the guy Narasimhulu (Chalam) who informs Prasad. Rangadu is sent to jail. There he meets his father, learns about his innocence and vows to get him out. Once Rangadu is released, he earns the goodwill of the other two partners and finally exposes them. Veerayya is released, Rangadu marries his lover Venkata Lakshmi (Jamuna) and Prasad takes Padma back.
