Plot summary
Krishnamurthy, a wealthy philanthropist, lives in Madanapalle with Vaishnavi, his orphaned granddaughter. He reports illegal wildlife trade on his leased tea estate, which is administered by the younger brother of MLA Trimurthulu Naidu. The man escapes custody, the estate is seized, and Trimurthulu pressures the family to leave. Krishnamurthy refuses and asks for police protection. Govind Gujjar, who works in the house as a servant, carries word of the family's trouble to Sitaram, known as Daaku Maharaaj, held in a prison in Bhopal. Maharaaj breaks out with the help of his men and joins the household as Nanaji, the new driver, staying close to Vaishnavi.
