[edit]An Army unit comes to a local village in Kerala because of a terror threat. The unit is led by Major Pattabhiraman and his subordinate, Captain Benny. The Major sees a widow named Vimala singing. Vimala is living in her husband's home after his death. A village girl Satyabhama, and Benny fall in love and elope. Pattabhiraman discovers that a terrorist has planned to pour cyanide into a water tank. He finds the terrorist and destroys the water tank by blasting a bomb terrorist had with him.
