Plot

Sampath is a poor graduate trying to find a job. Sakunthala is a rich young woman whose mother wants her to marry Kalai the chairman and also a friend of Sampath. Sakunthala and Sampath fall in love but face resistance from her mother and Kalai. Sampath heads to Madras to find work and becomes the warden of a college dorm. The terms of the job require him to remain unmarried and he isolates himself from Sakunthala. At the dorm, he is strict but acts as a positive guide to the students, helping them through various issues. His exacting expectations earn him a few enemies among the students, particularly Vasu. Sampath faces obstacles both in his mission to ensure the younger generation are heading in the right direction and in his goal of reuniting with Sakunthala.
