Plot summary
A cache of blood rubies under King Gurumes' kingdom makes him greedy, and he tears up his subjects' farms and homes digging for more. The rubies curse him, turning him into a large purple monster whose hunger never eases, and he sends the enforcers Pasta and Bongo after the Dragon Balls, seven of which summon a dragon able to grant one wish. In a nearby village, a girl named Pansy watches Bongo beat her father for defending her and decides to look for help. On Mount Paozu, a monkey-tailed boy named Goku lives alone until Bulma, a teenager tracking the Dragon Balls with a radar, runs into him.
