When Vélayudam Pilai (M.R.Radha) welcomes young and beautiful Seeta (B.Sarodja Devi), in memory of his deceased father, the driver Ponnusamy who saved him the life, claws of bad losers of poker, his two sons are going to fall each, without they know hit, lover of the same girl of the good Samaritan.
