Thabal, a village Pradhan, and his wife Thanil lead a happy life but long for children. Their locality sister Tharo has a love affair with Thambousana but her mother opposes their relationship. The former marries Thembung, a Brahmin, but Thambousana is unaware since he is studying outside the state. He sends letters to Tharo. She does not want to disclose her current status as she knows Thambousana's nature. So Thanil safeguards the letters for her. But, Thabal discovers them and, not understanding whose they are, fatally throttles Thanil. When Tharo claims the letters, Thabal realises they are hers. Filled with regret, he becomes depressed, which costs his life.
