The narrative centers around Sirisoma and his sister, Chutty (Dan Chooty), who are forced into homelessness and begging after a devastating fire leaves Sirisoma blind. A man named Kapila rescues them from the streets and takes them to his father, a doctor. Sirisoma successfully undergoes surgery to restore his sight, while a romance blossoms between Kapila and Chutty. However, the plot thickens into a tense drama involving a rival suitor (Ralahami's son), kidnapping, and gun violence.
