Palattu Kunjikannan is in love with the Princess Aaryamala. His friend Vanchiyoor Surasu, a brave warrior and martial arts guru, promises to support him in his quest. But then Surasu falls in love with Ponni the daughter of the Gurukkal with whom Palattu Kunjikannan is supposed to fight a duel. Ponni makes Surasu promise that he will persuade Kunjikannan not to kill the Gurukkal if he surrenders. In the duel Kunjikannan manages to keep the letter of his promise to Surasu to not spill a drop of Gurukkal's blood, but kills him all the same. Surasu is disappointed but understanding and he makes his way to Ponni's house to make amends. Ponni is angry with what she perceives as Surasu's betrayal. Palattu Kunjikannan weds the princess Aaryamala while Ponni decides to forgive Surasu and leave with him to Kadthanadu after she saves him from her cousin/friend who plots to murder him.
