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.
