Lalkarup Iyer, a young man in Coimbatore, is a lungiseller. Lalkarup sells all types of lungies like Banarasi cotton, Assamese cotton and many more as he owns a big lungi shop. But the day came when Lalkarup's shop was looted. All the costly lungies were robbed. Ittai was one of Lalkarup's employee. Ittai had watched a man had came at midnight. But what happened was he saw him at the end when he was about to go. Just when he got up, the robber managed to escape which made him to disappear in the dark. After Ittai said these stories, they made into the police station where the police called all the suspects. None of the suspect was flagged. They were sent to their homes. Policeman asked Ittai about how he looked. Ittai answered by simply saying that the robber had a heavy jerkin. Lalkarup and Ittai were sent to a detective where he could solve the puzzle. Ittai was asked all the things what happened before and after the robbery was going on. He said he did not see the before part. He was also asked any odd thing was there or not. He remembered carefully and said, "I saw Selerai and Attam outside the store talking about something before I went to sleep. I thought that they were talking about the fight which was going on day before yesterday. So I did not interrupt in their conversation." This made the detective more suspicious about the situation.

He also asked Ittai what was the fight about and Selerai and Attam were there in the fight. Ittai did not see the fight as he was busy stitching more lungies. But another employee Vishnu raised his hand up, seemingly he had seen the fight. But surprisingly, he held his hand up because he was stretching his hand. Detective asked everyone but no one knew except Selerai and Attam. So he directly went to Selerai and Attam as they stayed together. Selerai answered that he was talking about two dozen bananas in that store was rotten where he went some time ago that night.

Attam answered that he went to Gulshan pan shop where he ate the mitha paan. The mouth sweltering stories were said by him to Selerai. Detective asked them about the fight. Selerai answered,"Well, the fight was about Rangajari and Suvatranamahan. Suvatranamahan had stamped the Rangajari's costly lungi which was about 1200 rupees which was from Kanchipuram and also took his gold chain. One man jumped on him to catch him as he was shouting help. When he was caught, Rangajari argued with him which made Rangajari to call police. However, he managed to escape saying I will take revenge. The man who caught him was Attam, the second main after Lalkarup in the store."

They all tried to find a man who was named Suvatranamahan in the fight. So they called all the witnesses in the fight. But it was difficult to call Suvatranamahan. It was confirmed that Suvatranamahan had robbed the lungies. They managed to meet his parents but not Suvatranamahan. He escaped to Chennai. His parents were arrested. This made Suvatranamahan to reveal himself in police station to excuse his parents. Suvatranamahan was arrested. Lalkarup got all his lungies back and started the business again.
