Sahadevan (Dileep) is the son a police constable (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) in the dog squad. Sahadevan has only one ambition and that is to join the police department and for that he has cleared the exams and is waiting for the physical test. But he has an enemy, his own brother-in-law Peethambaran (Jagathy Sreekumar) who does not like him. Along with the police commissioner (Ashish Vidyarthi), Peetambaran sees that Sahadevan does not clear his physical test. But Sahadevan does not give up and becomes a private detective and calls himself CID Moosa. He has Arjun, a smart dog who was condemned for mercy killing by the police dog squad and a funky car that sprays chilli powder and throws marbles to assist him. Moosa's mission is to save the life of state chief minister (Murali) who is under death threat from a group of terrorists. Moosa has a lover Meena (Bhavana) who is a Gujarati girl.

Dileep and his debutant director Johnny have copied scenes from various Hollywood comedies like K- 9, Home Alone Series, Police Academy and Austin Power series along with Spiderman and Superman costumes to bring children to the theatre.However, it has been a worth watching movie for the kids as well as the comic lovers. The director entered in the main stream with this movie. This movie was a big hit in the same year.
