Plot
The comical film introduces us to a small village and its funny characters. The narrator informs of its developments and day-to-day activities. Soon, it slowly focuses to the problems discussed in the Panchayat office (fights do occur between two factions in a comical way), in which the main problem is the absence of a veterinary doctor. The leaders of the opposition faction, Nanappan and Uthpalakshan, give a final ultimatum to the Panchayat President Unnikannan Nair to resign his post if he can't find a vet within days.
Unnikannan Nair's daughter, Ammukutty, falls in love with Pappan. However, Unnikannan Nair disapproves due to the rivalry of Pappan's friends for the Panchayat President – Nanappan, Uthpalakshan and ‘Society’ Balan. Also, the animosity between Pappan’s grandfather and Kunjulakshmi, Unnikannan Nair’s mother, adds fun to the tale. The romantic angle includes ‘Society’ Balan’s romance with U. D. C. Kumari who is also followed by Balan’s father and Unnikannan Nair’s associate, Parameswara Kurup.
While Parameswara Kurup travels to find a vet, he encounters an old friend and thief, Bhairavan, and encourages him to act. Thus, Bhairavan is introduced in the village in his new avatar, Dr. Pasupathy. Unnikannan Nair soon takes a liking to him and arranges Ammukutty’s marriage. Heartbroken, Pappan soon leaves the village for work and finds solace and shelter from a friend who is a Police Circle Inspector.
Soon, when Dr. Pasupathy’s ‘uncle’, his associate in fact, Velayudhan Kutty, enters the village to see Bhairavan and joins his scam, it’s up to Pappan’s friends to call back Pappan to save Ammukutty.
