Plot summary

A Japanese base on the Moon is attacked without warning by a spaceship that then descends into the ocean, watched by Kenichi Ishikawa, his father Dr. Yosuke Ishikawa, Helen Wallace and her father Dr. Tom Wallace. They investigate and a teleportation beam carries them inside the craft, where a human-looking woman says she is one of the Zigrans, an alien race of great scientific advances, and sets off an earthquake in Japan to demonstrate her power, after earlier ones in Peru and Arabia. She speaks of planet Zigra, destroyed despite its learning, and of a search that has brought her people to Earth. She orders Earth's authorities to surrender or her prisoners die, and when Tom calls her mad she puts the two men into a hypnotic trance. Gamera flies in.
