The village landlord, a widower with a college-educated daughter Saraswathi in love with her father's farmhand Mayan, has an eye on the farmhand's sister, Vannakili. Mayan, however, declines the proposal of the landlord who suggests they could work out an exchange of alliances. Meanwhile, the village macho Poochie falls for Vannakili, kidnaps her and marries her against her wishes. A woman of strong character and old world values, she becomes the obedient wife to her husband who whips her to sing for him. She has a stepdaughter who refuses to acknowledge the new mother.
