Plot

Shanta (Anjali Devi) is a beautiful village girl (Palletoori Pilla). Her neighbour Vasanth (ANR) loves her without her knowledge. Kampanna Dora (Subba Rao) frequently raids over the villages and loots the inhabitants. Jayanth (NTR) is his main associate. One day Jayanth attacks the village, wherein Shanta lives. While robbing the people, Shanta slaps him and argues convincingly how bad his way of life affects their livelihood. This incident changes him and makes him leave his association with Kampanna. He lives with the villagers and trains the youth in fighting skills. Gradually Jayanth and Shanta love each other. Unable to tolerate this Jayanth and Vasanth have a fight. When Shanta expresses her love for Jayanth, Vasanth accepts it and get them married. The angry Kampanna attacks the village to destroy them. Jayanth and his child were taken away.
