Mayilsamy (Sathyaraj) is a petty thief who is determined to make it big in life, by hook or crook. Even it means going through a marriage with a stranger, a trusting village belle, Pappu (Devayani), deserting her soon after and warming his way into the heart of Puppy (Mumtaj), a wealthy heiress. Of course, he realises his folly by the climax.
