They remain good neighbours and are very friendly with each other. However, the women always grumble that their husbands are not making attempts to bring furniture and other households. They also crave to own a house of their own. At this juncture, they come across Schemes Appa Rao (Rajendra Prasad) an intelligent guy, who helps others in getting household articles in installments and at the same time, gain commission from the businessmen for bringing customers. Once, this Schemes Appa Rao gets cornered by a mischievous girl called Gita (Madhumita), who plays pranks with him.
