The two children have always been promised to each other in marriage, but the arrangement falls through when the two families fall out over a land deal, forcing the young lovers to meet in secret. When they are discovered, Ponmudi is sent to North India on business and Poonkothai runs away from home. The distraught parents make up and send messages to tell their kids that all is well.
