The film starts with an introduction to the main characters: the protagonist Bomman, Bomman's pet elephant Manickam, Bomman's uncle Kothali, and Bomman's sidekick Undiyal. Bomman spends most of his time with Manickam and earns his livelihood by hiring it out for festivals in temples and wedding celebrations. Meanwhile, in a village dominated by old principles, a rogue elephant (Komban) ravages crops and ambushes its people. Frustrated by this and without any help from the forest officers, their leader decides to bring a trained elephant to Komban. Bomman and his crew reach the village as placeholders to stay for a couple of days until the real mahout and trained elephant arrive.
Life begins to change for Bomman when he falls in love with Alli, the daughter of the village leader. Alli is at first reluctant keeping in mind the village's principles but soon Alli starts to fall in love for Bomman. Life goes on smoothly, until Komban randomly starts attacking the village. On the eve of their departure, Komban attacks Manickam. Komban kills Kothali and Undiyal and injure Bomman. In the ensuing fight between Manickam and Komban, Manickam kills Komban but Manickam suffers serious injuries and he dies. Bomman then cries out loud, regretting that his love had led to the deaths of his crew and Manickam. Alli's father then recognises that Bomman and Alli are in love. The film then ends abruptly, leaving Bomman's fate to the viewer's imagination.
