Velayudhankutty is in love with his cousin Amminikutty, but her father Kalarickel Kizhamkamthudiyil Shankarankutty Menon opposes it. Furthermore, Shankarankutty Menon has a compulsive obsession to assault those who do not obey him. To make money, Velayudhankutty goes to Palani, to find a  man named Kunjikhader to help after, who claims to be the supervisor of a leather factory, after being told by his father Nanukuttan. After searching for a few days at Palani with the help of a horse-cart driver Murukan, he finds that Kunjikhader is a pickpocket currently in prison, and claims to be the supervisor of a leather factory because he has many stolen leather purses. Kunjikadher comes out of jail by fooling the police, claiming to be going to Madurai. Velayudhankutty steals a bag from a Tamil barber and starts his own business as a barber. The barber's daughter falls in love with him. Meanwhile, Kunjikhader causes chaos in Velayudhankutty's village by pickpocketing. Kunjikhader and his associates kidnap Amminikutty to take her to Palani, but none of them know how to drive a car, and they end up with the police. Velayudhankutty lies to Amminikutty about being employed in the leather factory claimed by Kunjikhader. When Shankarankutty Menon refuses to their marriage again, Amminikutty attempts suicide, but is saved. Later, Shankarankutty Menon's family arrive in Palani, and find the truth.
