Raghavan is a widower with a small child. When Balan rescues Savitri from hoodlums and takes her home, he's turned off by Daniel who cuts off all ties with him. Balan settles in the Railway quarters with Savitri whom everybody assumes is his wife.Raghavan is shocked to see her at Balan's home, for Savitri is his own wife whom he had abandoned years ago.

In the present day, the situation grows fraught as a distraught Savitri tries to see her daughter. But Raghavan callously prevents her. But she's aided in her efforts by the tea-seller Mammookka who baby-sits the child. However when Raghavan learns of it, he's furious. A fight erupts between Balan and Raghavan when the latter insults Savitri. She admits to the truth that Raghavan is her husband. Meanwhile the child is kidnapped by hoodlums who are after Daisy, Balan's girl friend. Balan and Raghavan reunite to recover the child and the two friends and the two couples are reconciled.
