Before she breathed her last, his mother asked him to safeguard his cop job securely by concealing the fact about his night blindness. Just as he gets posted in Madanapalle in Chittoor district, a young housewife named Neelima (Komalee Prasad) gets murdered. Sebastian is assigned night duty to protect evidence in the murdered house. But, the people who know about his night-blindness take advantage of him to destroy the evidence. Sebastian gets suspended but later manages to trap the people and arrest them. However due to fear of losing his job if the suspects reveal his night-blindness, he releases them and the case is closed.

Reception
Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote, "Sebastian PC 524 settles for being an average, half-hearted drama, despite having a promising story. Had Balaji Sayyapureddy invested equal efforts in the screenplay, the film would have been a memorable outing".[7] Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote, "The story of Sebastian PC 524 has scope for so much more but the makers seem to hardly try. Even the short duration of the film feels long – and that says it all".[8] Y. Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu stated, "A crime comedy following a constable with night blindness, suffers from poor narration".[9]
