Vaikundam is rescued by a rich woman who was passing by. She takes Vaikundam to her city. When she realises that Vaikundam is a talented singer, she renames him Geethamani and promotes him. He becomes famous and rich. However, he neglects his parents and treats them poorly. His lover, Nagammal, tries to kill herself because of his behaviour. The rest of the story deals with how Geethamani realises his delusion and reconciles with his parents and Nagammal.
