Plot Babu is a caretaker in a mental hospital who shows much devotion to his job and more affection towards the patients in the hospital. He wears the patients' dress and moves like one among them. Due to this, the chief doctor, also a priest Father, likes him much more than others, fetching Babu the enmity of two compounders in the hospital. One of the financial donors of the hospital brings a wandering girl to the hospital, suspecting that she is mentally ill. Since nobody knows anything about her and she is mentally challenged, the hospital admits her. Babu moves with the girl like he moves with all other patients, but shows more affection than others as she does not have anybody to take care of her. The employees watch with curiosity and spin stories on them. Babu names the girl Meenakshi and calls her Meenu. One of the two compounders talks to a mentally challenged girl who is always craving for a baby, and tells her that he will give her a baby, indirectly trying to rape her. Meenu sees this and makes snake alert to stop it, which fetches everybody. This angers the compounder and he gives electric shock. Babu rescues Meenu and complains to Father, resulting in the suspension of the compounder and his friend. Babu now takes more care of her and spends more time with her. When Meenu was about to be sent off from the hospital she faints and doctors confirm her pregnancy. Everybody points out Babu as the reason, the Father also believes them and compels Babu to marry her. Babu admits he is the reason for her pregnancy and marries her. Babu's mother is very much angered by this and she shouts that her son is surely not of such a character and everybody has cheated her son. One day Father sees Meenu kneeling down near the confession box and sits to listen to her. Meenu reveals that she is not a mental patient and Babu is not the reason for her pregnancy. Meenu was a very rich orphan. She had a cousin who is of very bad character with all sorts of bad habits. He insists Meenu to marry him by pretending that he loves her more than his life.
