Sekar has lost his mind being forced to witness the betrayal by
his lover and his friend as they get married, though the situation was
manipulated by his friend Sukumar. She kills herself on the stage by setting
herself afire, driving him insane.
The family property remains in his name and is enjoyed by the
rest of the family who treat him badly but keep him alive so that they can
enjoy it. When forced to get a nurse, they instead get Radha, a courtesan, and
present her as a nurse. However, her tender love and affection slowly turn
Sekar back onto the road of sanity. Seeing that he is getting better, they
venture to fire her. One thing leads to another, and in the end, Sekar manages
to save Radha from fire, thereby redeeming himself from his earlier failure to
save his lover and getting sane again. They get married and forgive the
relatives.
