An unemployed youth Ravi and a vivacious girl Radha are neighbors who fight frequently on trivial matters. Radha's wealthy father Rajasekaran wants to donate some of his properties for charity. This is objected to by his nephew Moorthy who intends to marry Radha and seize all the properties. When Rajasekaran threatens to expel Moorthy, the latter abducts Rajasekaran and replaces him with a doppelgänger. With the help of the doppelgänger, Moorthy tries to marry Bharati, who is oblivious to the fact that her father has been abducted. However, Ravi successfully exposes Moorthy, rescues the real Rajasekaran and marries Bharati.
