Moorthy is a lorry driver, who lives with his mother Ram Aatha and often confronts the criminal Govindan. Moorthy and Uma fall in love with each other. One day, her father has a heart attack; when Moorthy and Uma rush him to the hospital, the roads are blocked by a local political party. Uma's father dies; an enraged Moorthy clashes with the political party leader Sigamani in public. Later, Govindan joins his party and stands in the election as well as Moorthy.
