Murthy (Nagaiah) is a publisher happily married to Kalyani (Jayamma) and the proud father of their children. He watches a street play in his village, and notices the beautiful Subbalaxmi (Bhanumathi) in that troupe. He advises Subbalaxmi's father to take her to Madras where she would have the potential to become a big theatre artiste. He even refers them to a theatre company. They travel to Madras. Subbalaxmi is offered the lead role and changes her name to Sujatha. Murthy falls for Sujatha's charms and neglects his family. Kalyani fends for her children by taking up small tailoring works and leading a hard life. At the end, Murthy realizes his mistake and returns to his family.
