Plot

Lakshmi (KR Vijaya) was a nurse at Lizzie Hospital – daughter of retired teacher Karunakaran (P. Bhaskaran). Chandran (Ravikumar) who is unemployed after BA pass - Lata (Vidhubala) studying in a tutorial college - Seetha (Seema) studying for nursing - the whole support and shadow of this family was the elder daughter Lakshmi. When nurse Lakshmi got a job in a hospital in New York, the dreams of all her family members blossomed. Crossing the seven seas and setting foot in the rich world of America is to earn as much as she wants. Lakshmi joins a job as a nurse in New York's Engelwood Hospital, and an American doctor named Jackson is attracted to her by her elegance and service. But Lakshmi's culture did not allow her to accept Dr. Jackson's marriage proposal. Soman (MG Soman) was a tourist taxi driver in Ernakulam. Mr. Williams, an American tourist, was impressed by Soman's service and manners. On his return to America, Williams invited Soman to America. Soman forgot the invitation but Williams did not. Soman was stunned one morning when the visa papers and ticket to New York arrived in a postal envelope. So Soman also reached across the seventh sea. Soman, who was dazzled by the colorful New York, was shocked to hear the news of Williams' death. A completely unfamiliar metropolis. He looked as if he were alone in a crowd. Soman lived by doing many jobs in a country where any job is respected and well paid. Lakshmi, who came to the country for Lata's wedding, returned to New York with her younger sister Sita, who had passed nursing. Sita soon became addicted to western culture. She swallowed the intoxication of youth by dancing and singing with her friends. Unable to adjust to Lakshmi, she started living on her own. Sita's drunkenness brought a young man to the brink of rape. Luckily Soman came to save her. One morning Lakshmi's brother Chandran also arrived in New York. In that metropolis that never sleeps, the moon was attracted by the dance halls and gambling dens. Gambling on debt eventually lands Chandran in the trap of a mafia boss named Nicholas. Will Moon escape Nicholas' clutches as he throws the man alive into the crushing machine at the junk yard known as the Car Graveyard? Why was Soman shocked when he saw the photo of the moon? Why did a group of young people chase Sita through the busy Central Park in New York? What is the end of Dr. Jackson's love request?? The action-packed and curious answer to these questions is the movie Across the Seventh Sea.
