Advocate Ramachandra Rao, a decency, lives with his ideal wife Janaki, three children, and his siblings Mohan & Shanta. Nevertheless, Ramachandra Rao strives as penniless; he never betrays his virtue with faith in God and Janaki's aid. Times get worse; his son dies due to it, it calls off Shanta's nuptial, and a malicious Bhupati molests her and commits suicide. Thus, Ramachandra Rao loses his endurance and comprehends that the world revolves around money. So, he abolishes God, starts counterfeiting the judiciary, and triumphs in breach of money. Whereat, Janaki constantly alerts him that anything without a breaking point is hazardous when a rupture arises. Parallelly, Bhupati introduces a tycoon, Vyjayanti, who tries to lure him, but in vain.
Meanwhile, Mohan loves Radha, the daughter of Panchanandam, and he turns into a spoiled brat with the business affliction of Bhupati. Being conscious of it, Ramachandra Rao rebukes him when Janaki accuses him of money being the prime cause of Mohan's taint. Ramachandra Rao continuously argues false allegations, which throw him into the gloom out of repentance. During that plight, Janaki's solace makes him normal. Following, Vyjayanti expresses her lust to Ramachandra Rao and trashes Janaki when he smacks her, affirming his wife's eminence. Hence, she falsifies Ramachandra Rao's splice with her to Janaki. Ergo, she quits and becomes terminally ill. Parallelly, conflicts arise between Bhupati & Vyjayanti when he stabs her. Before dying, she reveals to Ramachandra Rao that Bhupati is the homicide of his sister. Besides, he abducts Radha and seeks to knit her when Ramachandra Rao ceases him. In his return, Janaki is at death's door when Ramachandra Rao attempts to secure her with his wealth, which fails. At last, Ramchandra Rao bows his head down before the Lord, and Janaki survives. Finally, the movie ends happily with an affirmation: God is the Supreme Power.
