This
movie has the Big Green One fighting a gigantic lobster called "Ebirah"
though you never hear the name in the English version. A storm in the Pacific
results in a shipwreck. One of the men's brother takes it into his head
to try and find him. He and two friends take a boat with a bank robber
inside. Soon the four are sailing over the bright blue ocean in search
of Rota's brother Yata.
A storm
blows up and they find themselves on an island. They also find out that
they are not alone. There are also soldiers and a base on the island. A
ship sails into the dock spraying a mysterious yellow liquid. It bears
a cargo of captive natives from Infant Island whom the soldiers are using
as slaves. A woman slave named Daiyo makes her escape when the huge lobster
surfaces and terrorizes the islanders.
She
meets up with the four and enlists their aid. During a raid, the five are
spotted and shot at. One is captured, Rota escapes in a weather balloon,
and the remaining three return to the cave. They soon discover--you guessed
it-- that they are not alone. Godzilla is asleep in a deep chasm in the
cave. To rescue Nita, they decide to try to wake up Godzilla by spooling
wire around Godzilla's dorsal spines and waiting for lightning to strike.
Godzilla wakes up and is really very angry. He goes to fight Ebirah.
At
the film's end, Godzilla defeats Ebirah and goes after the soldiers. Mothra
comes and rescues the captured natives. Godzilla wants to fight but Mothra
has not come to tango. Godzilla leaps off the island just before it is
completely engulfed in atomic flames.
