The story is focused on Kochuthoma and his son Kunjumon. Kochuthoma is an ordinary man making his livelihood by running a typical street side "thattukada" in Kochi. His only son Kunjumon is his support and relief. At the age of ten, when his son faced trouble to stay at Kochi, Kochuthoma sent him to Kozhikode to stay with his dear friend Swami. A very humourous and influential person, Swami owns a Jewellery in Kozhikode market. Kunjomon is brought up under Swami's gaurdianship.

Like his father, Kunjumon also starts a "thattukada" in Kozhikode. But 10-year-old Kunjumon was more interested in the game of cards. Kunjumon grew up to become a renowned gambler, which earned him the title of "Gulan Kunjumon". Though he had very little educational background, he was much modern in his appearance. The bold Gulan Kunjumon's favourite pastime is reading his favourite magazine - Balarama.

Kunjumon and his father Kochuthoma are like friends. Whenever his father is in need, Gulan Kunjumon steps in. Once Kochuthoma had a dispute with the owner of Raj Palace, a five star hotel near his "thattukada". As usual Kunjumon drove down from Kozhikode to his father's rescue.

Raj Palace, which is actually owned by a multi-millionaire Chandrashekara Menon, is now run by Sreedharan Unnithan and his sons. Chandrashekara Menon had authorised Sreedhran Unnithan to manage the hotel, when he had to go to Singapore for business purpose. But due to some crisis, his business declined and he is imprisoned in Singapore.
