Sethumadhavan’s formula of the decay of feudalism with a sex motive here yields his most bizarre female lead yet, Gayatri Devi (Sheela), who carries out a remorseless vendetta against a feckless former lover, Madhavan Thambi (Sathyan), as she returns to her native village of Moonnar.

Then, in flashback, Gayatri reveals the story of her past relationship with Madhavan.
