Murthy and Kalyani are fortunately married until Murthy watches a road play in his village and notices the gorgeous Subbalaxmi in that troupe. He advises Subbalaxmi's father to take her to Madras, the place she may presumably develop into an enormous theatre artiste. After touring to Madras, Subbalaxmi is obtainable the lead position and modifications her title to Sujatha. Murthy falls for Sujatha's charms and neglects his household.
