Abhirami has five daughters, including Dhanam, Rajeshwari, and Maheshwari. The eldest Dhanam is a soft-spoken woman who worked as typist, while Rajeshwari is a short-tempered woman, Maheshwari is a carefree teenager, and the last two are little girls.
Saravanan is an orphan and a jobless youth who is in love with Dhanam. He lives in a small hotel with his new friend Ramkanth. Saravanan finally finds a decent job in a clothing store. He then moves with his friend Ramkanth near Dhanam's house. Saravanan slowly becomes one of their well-wishers but Saravanan learns that Dhanam will get married soon to someone else. The heartbroken Saravanan doesn't reveal his love and vacates the house.
On the wedding day, Abhirami has an accident and their jewels get stolen. Saravanan rushes Abhirami to the hospital, and then takes jewels from his boss' daughter Vasanthi who is a widow. Afterwards, the wedding takes place. After the wedding, Saravanan reveals that Abhirami had died on the way to the hospital. Saravanan doesn't tell the truth for fear that the wedding would stop.
Now, the remaining four girls accept Saravanan as their brother and he decides to live with them. Saravanan and Vasanthi get married soon after.
