What the story is about

Bapineedu, a ruthless contender in the city’s mayoral election, has his rival, the labour leader Gandhi Raju, murdered by his henchman Ganapathi. Jailor Chakrapani is a principled man with a happy home, his wife Savitri and two daughters; his one worry is his aimless son Raja, and the house rings with their arguments. Raja falls for Vyjayanthi, daughter of Bapineedu’s wealthy partner Ankineedu. When Bapineedu needs Ganapathi out of prison to rig the election and tries to bribe Chakrapani, the jailor throws him out, and the two become enemies. After election-night violence, Raja is framed for a killing and sentenced to death, and the film follows Chakrapani as he tries to save his son and find the one witness, Dr. K. K. Rao, who can prove the truth.
