Superman Story
Zamindar Raghunath Rao, a devout worshipper of Hanuman, offers his family’s heirloom jewelry during Hanuman Jayanthi. Meanwhile, three villains—Maharaj, Sardar, and Jaisingh—rob and murder Raghunath Rao, his wife Annapurna, and the temple priest. Their son, Raja, undertakes severe penance, and Hanuman grants him supernatural powers, transforming him into a superhero.
Years later, Raja uses his powers discreetly to help the public while concealing his true identity. He starts a mining business with Bangarayya and falls in love with Bangarayya’s daughter, Jaya. The three villains, now involved in criminal activities, pose a threat to the region. Raja first eliminates Jaisingh, then discovers Maharaj’s attempt to exploit gold deposits in the mine by creating a fake demon threat. Raja confronts and defeats Sardar.
Raja’s foster sister, Lakshmi, falls in love with Mohan, Maharaj’s son, and becomes pregnant. Raja proposes marriage, but Maharaj, discovering Raja’s secret identity, seizes the dowry and escapes with Mohan. Lakshmi, in despair, attempts suicide but is saved by Raja.
Raja travels to Hong Kong, where Bangarayya and Jaya follow him. Maharaj, having lured them there, tries to sell the mine and also seeks to kill Raja with the help of a sorceress, Lee. However, her black magic proves ineffective. Raja ultimately identifies Maharaj as the third villain, defeats him, retrieves Mohan, and marries Lakshmi. The film concludes with Raja and Jaya’s marriage, bringing the story to a joyous end.
