Plot
Kulothungan is a smart petty thief. He can dress up as a conductor or a police officer to rip off his victims. Despite being a thief, he helps the needy like Robin Hood.
Radhika, a wealthy heiress, is brought up by her three guardians: the lawyer, Subramanian, and Subramanian's wife Shalu but Shalu wants to fully benefit of Radhika's heritage and she drugs Radhika with the help of a Swamy. So Radhika later becomes mentally ill as Shalu wanted. One day, Radhika manages to get away. She ends up in a brothel and she is raped by Kulothungan who was drunk. Her guardians finally find her.
Later, Shalu hires Kulothungan to play Radhika's husband and Kulothungan marries Radhika. Kulothungan decides to protect Radhika from Shalu. Soon, Shalu joins forces with Kulothungan's enemy Rao. They kill Subramanian and blame the innocent Kulothungan. The honest police Guru Subramaniam takes charge of this odd affair. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.
