Plot
The film begins in a village where Gopi is a naughty guy raised by his grandfather, Shankaraiah, along with his sister, Lakshmi. He always performs mischievous deeds, and Shankaraiah masks them to save his prestige. Once, a beautiful girl, Vijaya, visits their village, where her acquaintance with Gopi begins with petty quarrels. Later, she starts liking him after protecting her against harm. Meanwhile, Shankaraiah looks like a match for Lakshmi, which breaks up because of Gopi's misdeeds, leading to Shankaraiah's death. Gopi aims to acquire recognition, so he moves toward the city. Parallelly, in another village, two malicious Dharma Rayudu & Narasimha Naidu carry out their barbarities and try to overpower each other. Fortunately, Vijaya resides as the daughter of the School Master, who is also a victim of their cruelty. So, she files a complaint when the government appoints a special officer for it. Being conscious of it, both the devils are alert to take hold of him. Fortuitously, Gopi lands there, whom they mistake for the officer. Here, Vijaya requests him to continue protecting the village. Soon, Vijaya civilizes and establishes him as a master of all fields. Afterward, Gopi starts teasing Dharma Rayudu & Narasimha Naidu, bars their violations, and develops the village. So, avenged evildoers join when the truth comes forward that the town's madman is the actual special officer. At last, Gopi ceases the baddies, and the same bridegroom, Venu, backs to marry Lakshmi, witnessing Gopi's nobility. Finally, the movie ends happily with Gopi & Vijaya's marriage.
