Plot:
A spaceship approaches Earth and is destroyed by the monster Gamera, but before it is destroyed, the aliens send a warning to their world that Gamera is their enemy.
Later on Earth, the Scouts visit an aquarium and see scientists working on a small submarine. Two of the scouts, Jim and Masao, board the submarine. Suddenly, they are abducted by an alien craft. The monster Gamera helps them escape but is captured by the aliens. After a brain scan, they find that Gamera's only weakness is that he likes children. So they block those feelings and let the monster go. The aliens capture the children and threaten to kill them. Gamera cannot help them because he has attached a mind-control device to his head. Gamera (under the influence of the aliens) destroys the cities on Earth. The two children try to escape from the alien spaceship and when they succeed, they also free Gamera, who then attacks the alien spaceship and the alien monster Viras.
