Venu is an orphan who works as a taxi driver. He is mistaken by the police as the kidnapper of Gopika Varma, an NRI girl. Venu tries to solve his problems and prove his innocence. Meanwhile, he stays out of the sight of the police by pretending to be a retired Colonel. Amidst his efforts to prove his innocence, he falls in love with Gopika. When she finds he is innocent and gets to know everything that has happened without his knowledge, she falls for him. How Venu proves his innocence forms the rest of the plot. The true kidnapper turns out to be an African national.
