That's the way it goes, with Parvathi Ammal, their mother, that they love. When Saravanan has to gather endows her with Sivagami, he leaves his province for the neighbouring town. During his absence, a film unit came, under the leadership of a spirited director, Muthu (come for locations) who seduces Sivagami and rejects her then without arousing her suspicions, by going back to the capital. Parvathi Ammal discovers the pregnancy of her daughter Sivagami, who wants at all costs to cleanse her dishonour. She leaves for Madras to find Muthu. She meets accidentally one Valli, who is to be the beloved of Saravanan and becomes friendly (Both young ladies, on the other hand, do not know that they are sisters-in-law due to Saravanan).
