Sisters-by-marriage Maheswariyamma (Srividya) and Thankamani Kunjamma (Lakshmi), though feigning mutual affection, are in fact bitter rivals: when the rich, handsome bank manager Shankar arrives in town they both plot alliances between him and their respective daughters, Kavitha and Bindu. The arrival of another stranger, Prabhakaran, transforms the story.
