Kannan's ambition in life is to take up the construction of the temple left incomplete by his forefathers. Unfortunately, funds are not forthcoming. Thannirmalai assures Kannan that with his employer's help, Kannan's dream will become a reality. Unfortunately for Thannirmalai, he becomes disappointed when his employer, the wealthy landlady Ranganayagi's grandson Raghu, turns out to be money-minded and heartless. In a fit of anger, Thannirmalai pushes Raghu into a river and thinks that he has committed a murder. Kannan is made to enter the scene as an impostor by pretending to be Raghu. Meanwhile, there is a love triangle between Kannan, Rajeswari and Parvathi. What follows forms the crux of the story.
