Plot
Raja settled in Singapore, visits his native village. His aunt tries to fortify family bonds, and seeks the hand of Raja's younger sister Asha for her son Pandian. Raja sniggers at the suggestion and is nasty while pointing out how out-of-place it is. Pandian vows to marry Asha. Raja vows to see that such a thing never happens.
In Singapore, responding to Pandian's overtures, Asha first tries to knock him dead with her Datsun, and then tries to drown him with her motorboat daredevilry, but ultimately undergoes a change of heart and is eating out of his hands. But misunderstandings again cloud the relationship, and when it is cleared Raja is again at his insidious tricks invidiously playing up another suitor Ramesh.
