The film begins with Madhu marrying an ingénue girl, Seeta, who is very possessive towards her husband. Soon after the wedding, she vexes Madhu with her nature, which is happiness. After a while, the pair are blessed with a boy, and all goes well until a naughty girl, Sudha, arrives. Sudha joins as Madhu’s secretary, and they develop a nice friendship. Once Madhu realizes the tragedy of losing her parents lies behind her naughtiness. Then, Madhu hags Sudha as solace. Unfortunately, Seeta views it, and her suspicion turns into rage. She wrangles with Madhu and charges him not to touch her. From there, Seeta hounds Madhu in unusual ways.

Moreover, she generates bad propaganda by attributing an illicit affair between the two, which blackens Sudha. Thus, Madhu has no choice except to get Sudha home. Accordingly, Seeta quits and applies for divorce. Though Madhu adamantly opposes it, Seeta prevails and leaves their kid with her husband. During that plight, Sudha moves to rectify the chaos. As a flabbergast, Seeta reveals that she is terminally ill and suffering from a heart problem. Hence, Seeta made this play to knit Madhu with Sudha to afford her husband and young son a new life. Now, Seeta pleads with Sudha to get Madhu ready for marriage, which she does. At last, Sudha affirms actuality, and Seeta leaves her breath to see their alliance. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Madhu & Sudha leading a delightful life and naming their daughter Seeta.
