Plot

The film opens with a 'Mantravaadi' telling an evil magician, Sathyatheerdhan, to obey his commands to make money by asking a friendly ghost to commit crimes. Meanwhile, a group of kids and their benefactors are held hostage in a circus camp by the baddies who have taken over the show.

Ancy comes back from London to take charge of Jumbo circus which was founded by her father, Philipose, who is found murdered. Upon reaching there, she is told that her father was killed by a bike jumper named Jimmy. In fact, Jimmy, his foster father Krishnan, Sishu Palan, and a gang of street children were all invited by Philipose to join his circus. Meanwhile, the ghost appears, becomes friendly with the kids, and takes a more stylish shape of Jimmy. With the help of the ghost, Krishnan and the children tell Ancy that Jimmy is innocent in the whole issue. Realizing the truth, she joins Krishnan and helps them to prove Jimmy's innocence. In the climax, it was revealed that Korah killed Philipose to grab the circus. Korah and his men get arrested and Sathyatheerthan is turned into a hippopotamus.
