Siva is the foster son of a respectable village elder. The village elder wishes to get his granddaughter married to Siva. But Siva incurs the wrath of the village elder's son-in-law when the villagers unanimously elect him head of the village panchayat. The anger turns into suspicion when Siva gives shelter to a woman named Thamarai and her new-born baby. Siva's kindness is misinterpreted, and even his lover shuns him. The wrinkles in the relationship get ironed out when Thamarai's husband returns to take his wife and child away. But the rift between Siva and the son-in-law widens and culminates in murder.
