Jalagandeswaran and Rayappan are brothers and house owners of a small colony. The tenants refused to pay up their rents, knowing that the houses were built on State land. Rayappan has the idea to rent a vacant house to Usha, a beautiful company manageress. Usha is married to a middle-aged man Sundaram. The couple moves into their new house and befriends the neighbours. The married neighbours Jalagandeswaran, Viswanathan, Ganesan and Coimbatore fall in love with the beautiful Usha and they begin to woo the young woman.
