One day he over hears, the Brahmin hotel owner, Sheshadri Iyer, telling a man looking for a job that he hires only Brahmans. Mathew pretends to be a Brahman called Vilvaadiri Iyer and secures a job at the hotel as waiter. His parents are happy that he got a job, though they do not know the circumstances under which he got a job. Since he has a job, his parents decide to get their first daughter married. Mathew borrows money from Sheshadri Iyer and sends it home to be given as dowry for his sister. In the meantime the daughter of Sheshadri Iyer falls in love with Mathew. Sheshadri Iyer comes to know and is willing to marry them both. Mathew then reveals the truth that he is a Christian. Sheshadri Iyer turns out to be a Christian as well.
