Plot
Unnikrishan (Jayaram) is a BA graduate in a village who wants to become a secret agent like his idol, Prem Nazir who had acted in various movies as a detective. His parents(Oduvil Unnikrishnan and K.P.A.C. Lalitha) and his girlfriend Dhamayanthi(Chippy) support him but Unnikrishan still cannot find a job. Dhamayanthi's father(Babu Namboothiri), who is a friend of Unni's father arranges a trainer Rishikeshan Nair(Janardanan) to train Unni. Rishikeshan Nair who told everyone that he was a trainer in a police training academy was actually a cook in the academy canteen. After a few days Rishikeshan Nair absconds with some valuables from Unni's house. Unnikrishnan later gets selected as a trainee in a private detective agency called Secret Files. The Boss(Narendra Prasad) assigns Unni a task of investigating about Arundhathi(Rohini), the daughter of a businessman Ananthapathmanabhan(Sukumaran) as an assignment to evaluate him. While investigating with his friend and sidekick(Indrans) he faces two rivals, Premshankar(Manian Pillai Raju) who poses as a gentleman who pretends to love Arundhathi, and Oomen Koshy(Jagathy Sreekumar) who is a working as a gardener in her house. They are from the same detective agency investigating the same case as the boss tells that whoever does best will be selected to the agency. All three try to investigate in their own ways. Unnikrishnan poses as a salesman of Peter and Peter, befriends Ananthapadmanabhan. He manages to make a bad impression about Premshankar in front of Ananthapadmanabhan. Oomen tries to flirt with the cook Clara(Kalpana). From Ananthan, Unni learns that Arundhathi is having a deadly disease from childhood and she has to take the medicines regularly. That's the reason for she still being unmarried. After Arundhathi's birthday party, she catches Oommen and make him confess that he is in fact a private detective. Oomen tells her about others and she reveals to the three of them that she is in fact Revathi, Anathapadmanabhan's niece. The actual Arundhathi is in USA doing her studies. Dejected the trio decides to quit the investigation. But Premshankar who has started to develop feelings towards Revathi, asks the help of the other two to find out what is the disease of Revathi. They find that she is actually healthy and the medicines she is taking from childhood is just vitamin tablets. They kidnap the family doctor of Ananthan and he tells them that Ananthan wants Revathi unmarried as the all the properties are of Ananthan's late brother who is the father of Revathi. So he fabricated a story about her disease to make her believe that she cannot live happily. They inform Revathi about this and she is shocked to hear about her uncle's actual intentions. But Ananthan gets to know about these happenings kidnaps Dhamayanthi who had come to the city with her father as she was worried about Unni. Ananthan makes an offer to exchange Dhamayanthi for bond papers signed by Revathi that all the properties will be of Ananthan. Revathi signs the papers and Dhamayanthi is rescued but Unni burns the papers using a matchstick trick taught by Rishikeshan Nair. A fight occurs where all of Ananthan's men are defeated and Revathi asks them to spare Ananthan as she was bought up by him.
