Gagani studies at a town school where all teachers and students complain about the mischievous things done by her. Ms. Nadee, who is in charge of sports activities of the school, receives a transfer to Monaragala. Janaki also decides to request for a transfer to Monaragala believing the environment in the village would surely change Gagani's behavior. Gagani refuses to leave her town-school so she is boarded in the hostel. She gets more and more stubborn there while making other hostellers adopt her mischievous behavior. She annoys hostel warden, Ms. Jenny and the hostel chef, Gunawathi but feels pity for Simon who is a mute servant in hostel.
