Veerasimhan (M. K. Radha) and Sasankan (Ranjan) are sons of the king of an unspecified region. While returning to his palace, Veerasimhan meets a village dancer named Chandralekha (T. R. Rajakumari) and they fall in love. At the palace, the king decides to abdicate in favour of Veerasimhan, which enrages the younger brother Sasankan, who leaves the palace and forms a gang of thieves who embark on a crime spree. After they kill Chandralekha's father, she is orphaned and joins a band of travelling musicians, whose caravan is raided by Sasankan's men.Sasankan orders Chandralekha to dance for him, and she does so only after being whipped. She later manages to escape. Meanwhile, Sasankan mounts a surprise attack on Veerasimhan and takes him prisoner. Chandralekha witnesses Sasankan's men trapping Veerasimhan in a cave and rescues him with the help of a passing circus troupe. The two fugitives join the circus to hide from Sasankan's men. After returning to the kingdom, imprisoning his parents, and declaring himself king, Sasankan asks his men to find Chandralekha.At the circus, one of Sasankan's men sees Chandralekha performing and tries to capture her, but she is saved by Veerasimhan, who escapes with her to join a gypsy group. When Veerasimhan leaves to seek assistance, Sasankan's men capture Chandralekha and bring her to the palace. Sasankan orders her to marry him and she refuses, feigning unconsciousness when he approaches her. One of her friends from the circus comes to Sasankan disguised as a gypsy healer, claiming that she can heal Chandralekha. Behind locked doors, the two girls hold a quick conference. Sasankan is pleased to find Chandralekha miraculously cured and apparently ready to accept him as a bridegroom. He agrees to her request for a drum dance to celebrate the royal wedding.Huge drums are arranged in rows in front of the palace. Chandralekha joins the dancers and Sasankan is impressed with her performance. As the dance ends, the drums open and swarms of soldiers appear from within them and attack Sasankan's men. Veerasimhan and his men manage to storm into the castle. He confronts Sasankan and they engage in a long sword fight, which ends with Sasankan's defeat and imprisonment. Veerasimhan releases his parents and takes over as the new king, while Chandralekha becomes his queen.
