Plot

Ramu (Sobhan Babu) is a struggling poet. Because of his dark complexion, publishers are unwilling to publish his poetry. Sriram (Nagabhushanam) is his friend, and a small-time con-artist. He agrees to support Ramu. He starts to publish his poems in Sriram's name. He agrees to do this as he needs money to perform his sister's marriage.

Sriram marries Ramu's sister (Sharada). As time goes by, using the poetry written by Ramu, Sriram gets quite rich. With the wealth come bad habits, and other habits. Ramu keeps quiet to ensure his sister's married life smooth, and does not confront Sriram. A rich lady (Vanisri) who admires the poetry of Sriram and becomes a fan. Over the period she realizes Sriram is a fraud, and suspects the truth. She comes up with a ruse to expose Sriram and elicit the truth.
