Poomadathil Vishwanathan (Captain Raju) a compassionate landlord lives with his wife and son, Veerabhadran, and is accorded a status of being the main arbitrator in the village. He disposes cases presented before him in a first-come serve basis without differentiating between right and wrong.
Vishwanathan is embroiled in a legal dispute regarding the possession of a vast area of land(Vazhamala) with his brothers in law, the Mangoyikkal Kurups. The court rules in favour of Vishwanathan. Vishwanathan's cunning advocate Kanaran (T. G. Ravi) join hands with the Kurups and advises them the steps to retrieve the Mala in exchange of half of the Mala.
The next day, Vishwanathan is tricked into meeting the Kurups to mediate a dispute. Vishwanathan is killed by Kanaran with an ivory tusk and it is manipulated as a death caused by an elephant. Veerabhadran (Suresh Gopi) takes over the reins of his family and village.
