Veeru (Pankaj) hailing from a downtrodden family is interested in studies. His father dies without clearing the debts of the village chieftain Mullayya (Prakash Heggodu). Mullayya does not allow the body to lift for cremation till his debts are cleared. In lieu of his loans he takes away Veeru to work as slave in the house till his father’s loan is cleared. This tragedy for Veeru’s mother Paru (Umasri) dips in misery. She works day and night with two more kinds to clear the loan of Mullayya so that her son Veeru is left free for education.
