Captain Miller is a fictional story with some true events included, which happened during the British Raj in India and is set in 1930s. Captain Miller, his original name Analeesan aka Eesan, is the son of Pechiyamma and younger brother of Sengolan. He belongs to a tribal group, who around 600 years ago, built a temple. As a gift to their leader then, the King who ruled the land years ago, gifted them invaluable gem to the clan’s deity, Lord Korannar. It is said that the gem is hidden somewhere and no one is been able to find it. Also, as years passed, the tribal gang are oppressed by the King’s successors and eventually are not allowed into the temple. Eesan is a non-believer and is keen to fight for justice. In due events, Pachaiyamma death is caused by the reckless actions by the King’s men. In a urge to meet the Princess Sakunthala who is deemed to be beautiful, Eesan and his friend Ayavu, enter the temple and are spotted by the King’s soldiers. Sakunthala’s cousin, Princess Velmathi helps them escape even though she might get in trouble and Eesan gets attracted to her. But Velmathi has a lover and she elopes with him with Eesan’s help.
Fed up with being slaves to the men in their own land (the Indians), Eesan decides to join the British Army in India where he feels that he is respected with good food and shelter and a much better status. Sengolan refuses to send him and his tribe too oppose him. Eesan remarks that Sengolan caused his mother’s death since, a rebel himself, came to the village festival and gained attraction. In his escape, Pechiyamma who stopped the men got injured and died eventually. Eesan leaves the village and joins the army. In the army, Eesan is renamed as Miller, for the convenience of the Englishmen. He then calls himself Captain Miller. He befriends fellow Indians, Raji and Sembattai aka Stephan. Along with them, another Indian man renamed James, is a short-tempered individual. On their first task, the men are asked to shoot and wipe out Freedom fighters, which includes all age group. Devastated that they killed their own men, Sembattai goes hysteric and is eventually shot to dead by the commander. Eesan then kills the commander and pushes him into the pyre and Rafi asks him to run away.
Eesan goes back to the village but is ousted by his tribe for becoming a traitor. They tell him that one of the freedom fighters that Eesan killed is his brother Sengolan. Eesan then leaves the place and joins a group of Dacoits headed by Kannaiya. The group then loot money and machineries. They also have a doctor group which help them and the dacoits give them money for the freedom fight fund. In one such event, Eesan is shot and is aided by the doctor, which turns out to be Velmathi. He learns that Velmathi became a widow, as her husband was one of the men killed by Eesan during his days in the army. Eventually, the current King Rajathipathi, who had hidden the fact of the gem from the British is forced to aid them, after someone rats him out. It turns out to be his Gumaska Kanagasabai. The British take the gem from below the Shivlinga idol in the temple. The King, insulted, teams with the tribe for the time being and looks for Miller’s aid in taking the gem from the Governor son, Riley. An ambush is made and Miller kills Riley and decides to go to Ceylon with the gem.
He then learns that the villagers would be in danger due to his actions. True enough, the villagers are tortured by Andrew Hardy and some are killed. Kannaiya surrenders and Miller eventually returns. A shootout occurs and Andrew and James are severely injured. The tribes however, fear Miller’s presence is a danger. Along with Velmathi, Eesan successfully gets his tribe into the temple for safety. They recover the gem of Korannar. The Prince and King are killed. The next day, Miller seemingly surrenders but kills many of the soldiers along with the dacoits. Another dacoit gang enters to their aid which turns out to be Sengolan. Rafi to joins them. They succeed in killing Andrew and James and the tribe eventually deserve justice. Elsewhere, Sakunthala learns that Velmathi had killed her father and brother.
