Prashanth befriends Radha and lives with her for a few days, but later cheats her. Prashanth steals diamonds with his partner Ashok, while disguised as CBI officers. The police commissioner appoints the CBI to investigate. Raju, Prasad's friend and a CBI officer, takes the case and begins the investigation.
