Murugan is an Indian scientist who has recently discovered how to store a part of the energy unleashed by lightning. He is assisted by Lilly who secretly spies for Bairavan. Murugan reports success of his research at a Hong Kong scientists' conference. He subsequently announces that he will not reveal his discovery, since the world is on the brink of World War III and his research may be used for destructive purposes. As scientists rebuke him Murugan decides to demonstrate. Murugan successfully demonstrates his experiment where a tree is shot down with a pill sized pellet and the surrounding is set ablaze, as a outcome of his research.

Greedy Bairavan offers $100 million and persuades him to sell the research to a foreign country(Deep State), which Murugan refuses. Despite the other scientists plea, Murugan burns the research papers in front of all scientists claiming that the research at this stage is destructive. Bairavan refuses to believe Murugan.

Murugan then departs with his girlfriend, Vimala, for a world tour. He discloses to Vimala that he only pretended to destroy the research notes, and has actually kept them in a safe place. He indeed had plans to use them, to ensure that his research was used for productive purposes. Bairavan, who has been following them, overhears this and plans to loot the research notes to sell it to deep state agents. While in Singapore, Bairavan shoots Murugan with a special gun that knocks him out. While Murugan falls from the tower Ru Yun T'a into a swimming pool, vimala faints after witnessing the act.
