Plot[edit]
The film begins in a city where antisocial elements prevail, and the crime rate magnifies daily. Commissioner Prabhakar advocates for the public to cooperate with them. Here, Sudarshanam, Dr. Giridhar, & Lawyer Brahmaiah, the honorable in the society, accommodates. Indeed, they are the true traitors, creating mayhem using their muscular & scientific powers. The trio tries to bribe an ancient scientist, Visweswaraiah, but when he denies it, they spill acid into his eyes and kidnap his younger daughter, Anuradha. They also grab Prabhakar's son Sundaram, a renowned scientist who walks abroad to study higher studies with their aid. The Govt has appointed stout-hearted secret agent Nanda Rao against a hit squad. He is the progeny of Prabhakar's first wife, who fled in childhood. Parallelly, Visweswaraiah's elder daughter, Madhavi, also arrives as a C.I.D. The two disguised as older adults named Agneyam & Latha.
Meanwhile, the trio makes a plane crash through Sundaram, which Prabhakar's brother-in-law Rama Rao & family witnessed. So, they slay them, except for their daughter Karuna, but foes abduct her. Visweswaraiah & Sundaram continue experimenting with innovations like flying cars, the invisible man, Ray Guns, etc. Nandan Rao & Madhavi fall in love and seek out the actuality of the trio, including Sundaram's diabolic shade. Nandan Rao uncovers it with his father and his identity, too. Both plan a secret mission to manipulate the trio to keep Prabhakar in their custody. At last, Nandan Rao ceases the brutal when, regretfully, Sundaram self-sacrifices blasting his laboratory. Finally, the movie ends happily with the Govt awarding Nandan Rao & Madhavi.
