He sets up a home of his own with his wife, but when his family members persuade him to rejoin the household, he brings his wife to his brother's house. There is once again cheer and sunshine in his life. Trouble arises when he is away from the house to accept a new job offered to him. The son-in-law of the house, a magistrate, leaks out the news that the orphan girl has earlier been convicted by him for immoral traffic. At once, insults are heaped on her. Unable to bear the taunting remarks, the girl leaves the house. The real drama then begins and all ends well. == Cast == {{Cast listing| *[Jaishankar](/source/Jaishankar_(actor)) as Sundaram *[Jayalalithaa](/source/J._Jayalalithaa) as Jaya and Usha * [Nagesh](/source/Nagesh) as Raju * [S.
