Plot

Collector Rama Kantha Rao is a stickler for law & order. He leads a happy family life with his wife Lakshmi Devi, son Ravi and daughter Jyothi. A rift always arises between father & son as Ravi believes that sometimes acting outside the bounds of law can be justified in order to lay bare the truth. A businessman Appa Rao & his acolyte Eelimudrala Ellayah carry out their criminal activities with their sons Kanna Rao & Chinna Rao respectively. The Collector hinders their activities, so they attempt to bribe him but fail. Ellayah contests the election with the support of Appa Rao, becomes minister and determines to humiliate & crush the collector but he courageously persists. Meanwhile, Ravi falls for Bharati, sister of his close friend Satyam. Satyam is a journalist and his father Srinivasa Rao is an editor of a newspaper who tries to expose the nefarious face of the minister. One night Satyam gets evidence of the minister's wrongdoings but Kanna Rao & Chinna Rao kill him. Ravi witnesses the crime but the culprits are acquitted due to fake alibis. An enraged Ravi attempts to kill them but his father prevents him, as a result Ravi leave his house. The Collector starts a secret investigation and gathers evidence against the criminals. Ravi returns surprisingly as a police officer. He supports his father but they still go in their separate ways. They both unmask the minister and remove him from power. Ellayah & gang attack Ravi in which, unfortunately, Jyothi dies. The Collector unites with Ravi and they bring the culprits to justice.
