Summary:
Raghunandan, an honest officer, is posted at the Karadipura government office. He comes to the village with his wife and finds that the staff of the office lack the motivation to work for the poor. He barely starts tuning his office when he is told of a minister visiting the area along with a foreign delegation and told to put the delegation up at a government bungalow. The search for the bungalow starts in the forests surrounding the area. However, the officer comes to know the building exists only on paper. His predecessors have even swallowed up government funds for its 'renovation,' and a watchman exists on paper, his salaries going to the corrupt staff. Goravayya, a poor folk artiste, wants permission to cut a tree in front of his home, which is threatening the stability of his house. Despite making several trips to the government office, Goravayya who has an orphaned girl with him finds his pleas falling on deaf ears. The officer and the entire staff are completely focused on making arrangements for the minister and they have no time for the problems of the poor. Instead, Goravayya is sent to scout the forest to look for the non-existent bungalow. Finally Raghu decides to cover up the fiasco to save an inefficient staff member. He sends a report to the government that the building had to be demolished and a new building will be constructed. Goravayya is paraded as the watchman to the team that comes for spot inspection. The government suggests action against the watchman for not safeguarding the building. By the time Raghu and his deputy go in search of Goravayya, he has died because his house collapsed in the rain. The film ends with the orphaned child spitting on the officer and his deputy.
