Plot edit
The film begins in a village where an indomitable lady, Gundamma, has two grandsons, sharing the cognate title Gopala Krishna and pronounced as Peddodu & Chinnodu, respectively. The two gain a good position in the town. Gundamma arranges marriage proposals for them, which Peddodu denies since he aims to marry by his own choice. Indeed, he chooses to marry Saroja, the daughter of Gangadharam. Unbeknownst, she joins as Peddodu's subordinate, and they crush. Chinnodu walks in to confirm the alliance with a village girl, Lakshmi, overseen by his grandmother. At first sight, he falls for her, and she, too, reciprocates. Parallelly, as a glimpse, the sibling's homeowner, Seetapati, constantly pesters the visitors because his daughter Savitri is deserted by her husband Mohan for dowry.
Eventually, Gangadharam proceeds to Peddodu to schedule the union, when he mortifies him. Ergo, Saroja rages and approaches their residence, where she strikes Chinnodu in confusion. Soon after, Saroja discerns the fact and loathes Peddodu. Next, the two move to an official camp where they hit a stroke of fortune via Gun Papa Rao, who pledges to join the turtle doves. He forcibly carries them, but they wittily abscond, and their love rekindles. Coincidentally, Mohan ruses for re-wedlock and picks up Lakshmi. So, he blemishes Chinnodu's affiliation with a marriage broker, Panthatulu. Hence, Peddodu advises him to elope with her and that he will conduct their marriage. Besides, Savitri is vexed and attempts suicide when Peddodu & Saroja secure and assure to amend the error of Mohan. Thus, they reform him with Papa Rao's aid, who accepts his wife.
Meanwhile, Chinnodu sets foot in Lakshmi's village and plans an escape. Unfortunately, he cannot catch the bus on time, so Lakshmi departs alone, where she is clutched by vicious Veeraju, who runs a den of iniquity. Hereupon, Veeraju's wife supports Lakshmi by writing to Chinnodu about the difficulty that Peddodu receives. Reading it, Saroja discards him by mistrust. Peddodu immediately rushes to shield Lakshmi. By then, Veeraju gravely injures his wife for assisting Lakshmi and is declared dead. So, frightened Lakshmi flees, and Peddodu is incriminated. Simultaneously, Chinnodu clears Saroja's suspicion, and they advance for Peddodu. Then they know the plight and speed up in quest of Lakshmi, whom Papa Rao fortunately guards. At last, after a few comic incidents, they are acquitted as non-guilty. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriages of Peddodu & Saroja and Chinnodu & Lakshmi.
