The baby (MGR) who was with the mother, escapes from their claws by the intervention of a farmer (V. Gopalakrishnan), who raises the child as his own child by naming him Manickam.
Meanwhile, both criminals mean seeing Thangappapuram, with in the arms, another baby (M. N. Nambiar) and persuade the widower that they saved him.
Wild with joy by thinking of having found his newborn child, Rathnam, Thangappapuram does not know that a terrible trap has just closed on him.
