Plot

Orphaned during her childhood, Sajjala is raised by Appakaka, an ex-army man who is a dear friend of Sajjala's father. He fixed her marriage to Advocate Jayantrao, son of Jagirdar, but of Ramrao rank; The sly and shrewd chieftain of the village cannot bear this and convinces the zamindar against Sajjala. Instead, dampening her spirit, Sajja sends a letter through her faithful and loyal companion Bhaa, clearing Jayantrao of his misunderstanding. Police Inspector Khandekar, who is Jayantrao's friend, exposes Ramrao's plot. When Jayantrao confronts Ramrao, he brazenly refuses. Ramrao later poisons Jayantrao, but Appakaka is tricked and arrested. As Jayantrao is on his deathbed, lawyer MLA Pawar's niece Sumitra accepts the challenge to release Appakaka.
