The story of the play is that, the State Minister of the fictional Putna Kingdom has abused a woman. The governor general says, “If it is not settled by law, the throne will be seized”. The King falls into a dilemma! The king falls in a tough trouble as the minister is his closest mate and he depends on him very much. So the king advises him to falsely fix a man who will admit the crime as his own deed and take the punishment instead of the minister.

So, a lazy man, namely Ghantakarna becomes the “criminal” and in return his wife Jagadambha takes four bags of money from the king. Soon, name and fame of Ghantakarna spreads all around the kingdom and all the thieves, dacoits and criminals start hiring him to take over their punishments.  Thus, the story of the play continues..
