Fresh printed bank notes to the value of incredible 10 billion rupies are stolen in India from a train by the henchmen of powerful gangster Vikram who lives in London. The code card only being able to open the container with the money comes into the possession of beautiful Chandralekha. On the way to Vikram she comes across the two thieves Kadir and Azhagu who are on the run from the police - along with a runaway country-girl Rajathi, whom they kept from committing suicide. After some attempts of cheating each other Chandralekha becomes friends with the thieves. When she discovers that Vikram will stop at nothing - especially not at dead bodies - on his hunt for the loot, she informs the three others about the real value of the code card. In the following pursuit between Vikram, the four heroes and a special police brigade which has to get back the money before a state crisis comes about, not only fierce action, but also love comes to its own.

Trivia:
The film's story has been compared with the classic tale of 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'.

K. V. Anand, who later went on to become a reputed cinematographer and movie director, was amongst P. C. Sriram's assistant cinematographers in the film.

Salim Ghouse, a renowned theatre artist, was roped into play an antagonist in a rare commercial film appearance.

J. D. Chakravarthy was initially meant to play the role of Kadhir, but was ultimately replaced by Anand.

The license plate of the cargo container containing the stolen money is SKF 1138 - possibly a homage to George Lucas's movie THX 1138 (1971).
