Maruthu enters the town of Mulimalai, introducing himself as the grandson of the respected Mookaiya Devar, who left for Singapore years ago. While the others accept his claim, the village guardsman, Maayandi, is suspicious. Maruthu is drawn to the withdrawn Ponnuthaye. Her brother, Kaali, was convicted of raping and killing Valli, her friend. Kaali was sentenced to death but has escaped and is now on the run. Ponnuthayee has no one other family except Maayandi, who was Kaali's friend and sees her as a sister. Maruthu and Ponnuthaayee fall in love, and Maayandi , suspicious of Maruthu, makes his disapproval clear. The protagonist investigates and learns that Valli's intended accidentally killed her when he attempted to rape her and placed the blame on Kaali, who is now exonerated, but still missing. The villagers are grateful for Maruthu's help and arrange for his wedding to Ponnuthayee.
