Josekutty is a hard-working Knanaya Christian auto rickshaw driver from a good family. He falls in love with Jancy whose sister, Nancy, is an unwed mother of a boy. Josekutty is asked to see Nancy for an arranged marriage. He mistakenly thinks that Jancy is Nancy, and he agrees to the marriage. Josekutty agrees to marry her. Nancy is found dead on the day before the wedding. Josekutty raises her child as his son and tries to find out who fathered Nancy's son. He learns that Monachan, who was the son of the majordomo in Nancy's family, was in love with her and had earlier killed her boyfriend, who was the father of her child. He also accidentally killed Nancy. While trying to kill Josekutty and the child, Monachan is stabbed to death by Josekutty's brother Mathukutty, thereby saving Josekutty and the child. Josekutty and Jancy make up and decide to take care of the child as their own.
