Summary: Guna (Kamalahasan) is a mentally disturbed
youth whose mother Mannonmani
(Varalakshmi) runs a brothel. He is obsessed
with fantasies in which he casts himself as Siva,
expecting Abirami to come and redeem him.
Having been persuaded by his uncle to break
into a temple, Guna sees the beautiful heiress
Roshni (Roshni) and takes her to be Abirami,
abducting her first to the brothel and, when he
cannot stay there with her, to Kodaikanal.
Roshni eventually realises that the madman
who kidnapped her is really a kind person and
she gets him to betray their whereabouts to the
police. When the cops arrive, Roshni begs
Guna to surrender, promising that she will take
care of him. However, when her evil guardian
kills her, Guna retaliates and kills the villain
before leaping to his death off a bridge,
holding his beloved ‘Abirami’ in his arms, thus
proving that nothing can separate Siva from
Abirami.
