Indeed, Uma is a cop on the hunt for a scandalous who frauds women with espousal. The only clue they hold is the mole on his thigh, for which she scans every man. Ultimately, she seizes the culprit, Sivaji, when she learns that the killer is Meesala Gundaiah, a club owner, and Uma waylays him. Before leaving, Gundaiah squares up with a vengeance. After a while, Uma & Papa Rao couple up, hiding their professions. Meanwhile, Gundaiah acquits ruses by incriminating Papa Rao for gambling when Uma arrests him. After that, Uma requests Papa Rao to quit gambling, and then he seeks her to resign. Here, a clash arises, which leads to a challenge that Papa Rao should touch Uma for one month. Contingent upon, whoever loses must obey the other, which moves to some comic tale. Gundaiah bankrupts Papa Rao in gambling via Sivaji. Next, he unveils the plot when enraged Papa Rao strikes Sivaji, and he is declared dead. Soon, Gundaiah intimidates Uma to spend a night announcing Sivaji's survival. Being conscious of it Papa Rao ceases Gundaiah and acquits him as non-guilty with the aid of Uma. At last, Papa Rao desists from gambling, and the couple is blessed with a baby boy.
