This is the turning point of the movie. Sivaraman wakes up at night when he hears the phone ring. A gang leader called Fakiram Vijayaraghavan has kidnapped the daughter of a rich businessman Jaiganesh and is demanding a ransom of Rs.lakh. The panicked trio realise they have no idea who Jaiganesh is. Sivaraman tries to locate Jaiganeshs number from the telephone directory, only to realise that the phone numbers of the theatre and Jaiganesh have been mistakenly transposed. Asha does some quick thinking and comes up with a plan. She suggests that they act as the broker between Fakiram and Jaiganesh, demand a ransom of Rs.lakhs from Jaiganesh, return his daughter to him, and earn a profit of Rs.lakhs. Fed up with their poverty, the other two agree and the plan is set into motion, but the job isnt easy to carry out while hiding from the police and keeping Fakiram and Jaiganesh away from each other. Finally, after a struggle, the three rescue the girl from the gang leader and hand her over to Jaiganesh. They however are forced to confess the whole game when they encounter the police. Jaiganesh however forgives them for having safely rescued his daughter, and instead gives them the money as a prize.
