The small village of Aadhi kaadu, inhabited by a clan who abide by their own customs & traditions, is frequently attacked by a wild elephant. Frustrated by the authorities' negligence, the villagers decide to bring in a Kumki (domesticated) elephant to confront the wild one. Circumstances induce Bomman (Vikram Prabhu), his uncle Kothalli (Thambi Ramaiyah) & sidekick Undiyal (Ashwin) to arrive at Aadhi Kaadu, masquerading Manikyam, an elephant used for festive occasions, as a Kumki elephant.
