Synopsis
Sura Babu lives with his wife Parbati, brother Raju and son Debi. Parbati loves Raju more than her own son. Parbati falls ill and Raju comes to Puri believing that Lord Jaganath's prasad can cure Parbati and brings prasad. The illness continues and native doctor Das is called in. Parbati is gradually cured. Later Parbati's mother and sister Champa come to stay with her. Parbati's mother is not well disposed towards mischievous Raju and tries to influence Parbati against him. Her efforts fail as Champa takes the side of Raju. Dr. Das's assistant Mukund and doctor Rabi, a newcomer to the village compete for Champa's hand. Dr. Das makes the proposal to Sura Babu on behalf of Mukund for Champa's hand. Sura agrees with a misunderstanding that Doctor Das himself wants to marry Champa. In the meantime, Mukund decides that he is not suitable for Champa. On the marriage day, Sura Babu forces Dr. Das to marry Champa. At the last moment, Raju is found in wedding attire. Mukund comes forward and explains that Champa is in love with Dr. Rabi. The marriage of Rabi and Champa is celebrated.
