Pushpa Raj, a coolie, volunteers to smuggle red sanders, a rare wood that only grows in the Seshachalam Hills of the Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh. When DSP Govindappa raids them in the forest, Pushpa smartly hides and recovers the stock, thereby gaining the trust of his employer Konda Reddy. With the help of novel ideas to smuggle the red sanders, Pushpa quickly raises through the ranks and becomes Konda Reddy's partner in the red sanders smuggling network.
Mangalam Srinu, a merciless dealer who manages the red sanders syndicate entrusts Konda Reddy to keep 200 tons of his stock safe. As Konda's younger brother, Jolly Reddy is deemed incompetent, Pushpa is given the job. However, Govindappa tracks down their location and attempts to raid. In order to transport the stock quickly, Pushpa throws all the wood logs into the adjacent river while sending his accomplice Keshava to bribe the officials and dam the river downstream. As all of the stock is saved from being seized, Srinu and Konda are relieved. At a party, Pushpa overhears that Srinu is selling the wood at a much higher rate than what they're paid. Pushpa asks Konda to demand a fair share but backs down as going against Srinu seems risky.
