Plot

The film begins with a bourgeois, Allibilli Anjaneyulu, who challenges severe family tasks and economic turmoil. He declares that he will dispose of the city's property to avoid bankruptcy. Neeraja is a tenant in the house and lives with his mother, Tulasamma, and two infant siblings. Anjaneyulu seeks them to vacate, which she denies due to her modest income and disability to pay high rents. Ergo, Anjaneyulu takes several steps to discard them, i.e., appointing a legal adviser, Lawyer Lankela Shankara Rao, and proceeding with his cousin Inspector Bellam Appa Rao’s aid but fails. Hence, he schemes by wittily intruding into the house and makes hilarious attempts to expel them. Since Neeraja is vexed, she rings her maternal uncle Bombay Dada, a deadly ruffian, to dump him. Though Anjaneyulu is scared initially, he drives him away with courage. Following this, Neeraja consults the same advocate, Shankar Rao, and handovers the rental receipts. Anjaneyulu's slick trick destroys them and occupies the house, calling his family. Hereupon, Neeraja is utterly devastated by losing her job, which makes Anjaneyulu repent. So, he enquires about their past. Neeraja's father is a hardcore criminal who has slaughtered his son, for which Neeraja put him behind bars. Before leaving, he vowed to slay her, too. Hearing it, remorseful Anjaneyulu affirms to entrust the house to them. Whereat, he learns that Neeraja is at risk as her father has been absconded. At last, Anjaneyulu ceases him and shields Neeraja when she comprehends his virtue. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Anjaneyulu & Neeraja.
