The story revolves around Somu (Yash), a Kannada MA graduate and a stickler for discipline, who unsuccessfully tries his luck as a lecturer, reporter, auto driver, canteen owner and, finally, a thief. He falls in love with Roopa (Haripriya), a girl who'd rejected 48 proposals. When the police track down Somu, he threatens to end his life by jumping from a building.
