Mr Sivasanker hires a new servant called Sidda after his daughter, Leela, approves of him
Leela becomes attached to Sidda more and more every day. Leela made Sidda play games with her, she enjoyed playing teacher with him; this shows role-reversal as Sidda is uneducated
One day Leela and Sidda go out shopping and when they return Leela’s mother notices Leela’s gold chain is gone
Leela’s mother accuses Sidda of stealing the necklace and threatens to call the police but when she goes out of the room for a second he vanishes into the night
That night Leela questions where Sidda is and blames herself and her family
A few days late the police catch Sidda and brings him to the household
Sidda still denies stealing the chain but they do not believe him and he is taken back to the station
A few days later Leela’s mother finds the chain in the tamarind pot and Leela explains she put it in there a few days earlier before Sidda was taken, naïve to the trouble she has caused
Her father says he will go down and tell the police that Sidda is innocent but he says he still wouldn’t have a criminal in the house
