R.K. Raju, a private investigator is assigned the task of locating the missing daughter of a wealthy Hindu couple. His investigation take him to different locales, and he comes across Miss Mary, the girl closely resembling the one he is looking for. He asks her to accompany him, in the guise of teaching his girlfriend some music, to which she agrees. On the way there, they meet with Arun, who also agrees to accompany them as Miss Mary's husband. Once there Miss Mary is informed that she is the daughter of the Hindu couple, and she strongly denies this, stating that she is born a Christian, lived with a Christina Priest all her life, and has no knowledge of being a Hindu. Then a stolen locket of Devi Maa Laxmi is located, and the suspect, prima facie, is Mary and a gentleman, who claims to be her bethrothed.
The song "Gaana Na Aaya" is a nutty medley of various music forms and styles, including the nursery rhyme Three Blind Mice.
Missamma, the original version of the film was directed in Telugu in 1955 and was remade as Missiamma in Tamil. It was remade in Hindi as Miss Mary in 1957. L. V. Prasad directed all three versions.
The script was adapted from two Bengali-language novels: Rabindranath Maitra's Manmoyee Girls School and Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay's Detective.
