Bala & Kanni from the Paloor family & Kanaran (K.P. Ummer) & Kammu (Prem Nazir) from the Karuvanjeri family have the same aim - to destroy the Ponnapuram fortress & kill its evil ruler & sorcerer Kelu Moopan (N. Govindankutty). Bala has sworn to kill Kanaran & Kammu, whose father Kurup (G.K. Pillai) killed Bala's father Mootha Thampi (Thikkurisi) by deceit. A vengeful Kanaran & a repentant Kammu disguises themselves as Kannan & Nambi, & join forces with Bala & Kanni to defeat Kelu Moopan.

Mamangalam Ponni (Sheela), the coveted girl of the land, has to wed a lowly woodcutter (Prem Nazir) who saved her life, to abide by the law that any virgin accepting clothing from a man, has to be his wife. Ponni makes a warrior out of the woodcutter in 101 days & names him Durgadasan, but now, Durgadasan can only see her as his guru. Meanwhile, her jilted suers - Thacholi Chandu (Ummer), Elavannoor Idumban (Jayan), Kaippali Paachan (Janardanan) & others were planning to get Ponni by any means.

Based on the 'Vadakkan Pattukal' (Ballads of North Malabar), 'Othenante Makan' has Ambu (Prem Nazir) as the love child of warrior hero Thacholi Othenan (Sathyan) & Kunji (Ragini) of the Thekkumpattu family. Under threat from Chandutty (K.P. Ummer) of the Vadakkumpattu family to kill all males of Thekkumpattu, Ambu lives a secret & sheltered life in Thekkumpattu, until one day he gets to go out, but which results in him challenging his own dad Othenan for a duel without knowing who he is.
