Chellaiah, overcome with guilt, donates money he wins in a lottery to Murugan and confesses to his crime in a letter before committing suicide. Periaswamy tries to suppress the letter but he ends up in jail. In this melodrama Nagaiah tried to redefine his screen image but his career went into a long decline.
