Plot
editBuchi Babu was married to his maternal uncle Varahala Rao's daughter, Buchi, in their childhood. At that time, Buchi Babu's parents were living in their in-law’s house due to financial difficulties. Gundabathula Achchamma, his virago aunt, denies it, affronts them, and throws out the wedding chain. Ergo, Buchi Babu’s family quits, and he safeguards the wedding chain. Years rolled by, and Buchi Babu returned from abroad, and they turned wealthy. Presently, Varahala Rao approaches him and describes how Achchamma’s authority ruined the family, spoiled the children, and disturbed her in-laws. Now, Buchi Babu enters as a cook as Maryada Ramanna into the house. The rest of the story is a comic tale of how he teaches them a lesson, acquires Buchi's love, and unites the family.
