Featuring Snow Woman Monster Snowgon.

Rumiko—chan, at night it gets really cold!

You should bring a heavy sweater that you can also use as pajamas!

It's fine. Mountain cabins have the stove on all night.

No, listen to Jiro—san.

They say mountain weather changes easily.

Right. They say a woman's heart is like a winter mountain.

Don't get cheeky.

It's Go! Is Jiro over here bothering you?

Oh?

He's here, but he's not bothering anyone!

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Hey! I woke up and your bed was empty. You scared me.

Well, we're going mountain climbing. I couldn't sit still.

You'll really take him with you?

Would you like to join us, Go—san?

Yes. But I just can't get tomorrow off.

You really are busy.

Is it a case?

Yeah.

Maybe we shouldn't go.

No, please look after him.

I haven't had a lot of time to spend with Jim recently.

Ooh!

Take care.

Go—san, what souvenir do you want?

Surprise me.

Rumiko—san, please look after him.

Okay. We'll be going.

—I'm off! -Take care!

Good morning.

Morning.

I hear we're on standby.

Yeah. It might be a little hasty but there were three strange vanishings.

One after another at Yatsugatake,

Karuizawa, and Manza.

Vanishings? That's police jurisdiction.

Yeah.

But, from the remaining items of the three cases,

we can only believe they disappeared from the planet.

So there you have it.

Huh.

They were all on late autumn Sunday picnics.

And the fact that all three cases were of couples concerns me.

Couples on picnics.

-What's wrong? —Oh.

It's nothing.

Those two aren't really a couple, so...

We're almost there.

Okay.

Hello.

Do you know a mountain cabin called Kaede-so?

Oh, that's exactly where we're going.

It's just ahead. Let's go together.

Wow, that's a relief. Thank you.

Hmm. "Mouse."

"E"... "Earth!"

"H," "h," "h"... I don't know...

Got anything?

"Hood." Little Red Riding Hood's hood!

—Oh! —Not bad!

"D," huh? "Dome!"

Hmm. "E," huh? "E"...

"Earthquake!"

Um, are there any newlyweds here?

—Yo! Right there! -Over here!

Oh, thank you.

We just got married.

That's very nice.

Actually, there's a separate cabin just for newlyweds.

If you'd like, we can show it to you.

Let's have them go ahead.

Us single guys are all sweaty here.

—Go on. What are you waiting for? -Right that way.

Oh, they're embarrassed.

Take care.

It's pretty chilly.

Man, it's cold.

Rumiko—chan, are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm still wearing my sweater.

Even so, it's cold. I'm going downstairs to check the stove.

Man, it's cold.

Yow!

That's strange.

Oh.

It's cold, isn't it?

Is it snowing hard?

Yeah. That caretaker woman looks like a Snow Woman in the falling snow.

Man, it's creepy.

The Snow Woman is a legendary female yoked that appears in winter in snowy areas.

Her body is cold like ice, but it is said that she is actually kind.

But is this really a kind Snow Woman appearing now?

Nobuo, is something wrong with me? I'm freezing.

I know.

But look how much the stove is burning.

Hold me and warm me.

Sure.

Oh!

Are the newlyweds staying over there?

It looks like it.

Ya-ho!

Stop that. It's rude.

It was that cold last night, so those two probably had it tough.

Good point.

Let's see how they're doing.

Hello!

Hello?

We're coming in.

—Goodbye! —Goodbye.

-Good bye. -Take care.

Oh, what happened to the steamy couple?

Well, actually...

They left while it was still dark.

They must have gotten too embarrassed to see everyone again.

Take care.

Take care. Goodbye.

—Goodbye. —Goodbye.

Well, as far as we've been able to gather,

the vanishings have been from these five locations.

According to information, on the days people vanished, each cabin was being

managed by an old man and his granddaughter.

And they were all young couples.

These are the common points.

How did the old man and granddaughter disguise themselves as caretakers?

Hmm.

The real caretakers got orders from their respective village offices to return.

These were obviously fake.

So they're strange kidnappings from mountain cabins?

What are they after? Ransom money?

No. There's been no demands to the remaining families.

Captain!

There's been another couple vanishing.

Thelocafion?

They vanished from the top of Daibosatsu Mountain Pass.

Oka, could I see that report?

Here.

A week ago. I knew it!

What is it?

A report from locals of a strange flying object near Daibosatsu Mountain Pass.

I see.

If that object has something to do with the missing people...

It could be aliens.

That's right.

Yes, this is MAT.

What? A witness?

I see. Roger. We'll send someone right away.

Captain, the police have a young man

saying he saw something strange during that Daibosatsu incident.

Okay.

Let's have Go check it out.

Yes, sir.

—Please. -Thank you.

—I'm Go from MAT. —Oh.

So MAT'S moving out at last.

What did you see?

Yesterday, I was wandering Daibosatsu Mountain Pass.

I had my gun to hunt birds.

Without a single catch, I was waiting and it became dark in no time.

While I was wandering, I lost sense of direction. Then I saw a mountain cabin.

I thought I'd stay the night if possible.

That's what he said.

It's like a Snow Woman story.

What?

The Snow Woman appears before young single men. Men like you.

I've never heard of it targeting young couples.

It's Go!

Come in.

Hey. You made it back safely.

Yeah.

What's wrong?

We're not sure they vanished, but a young newlywed couple was gone this morning.

Right, Jiro—kun?

Yeah. They were invited to a separate cabin at night.

Were the caretakers an old man and a girl?

Yeah. How did you know?

Was it snowing?

It was.

I went outside.

There was a girl in the falling snow.

HQ. HQ. This is Go.

Target the radar to Chubu Area A.

Last night, an alien appeared at a mountain cabin near there.

That was an alien?

RETURN OF ULTRAMAN

Is that information accurate, Go?

I can't imagine they'd lie.

That's right. Jiro—kun's observations are always pretty accurate.

An abnormal object!

All right, move out!

I'm attacking.

Okay.

All right, land.

They're dead.

Their hearts are beating.

They've been chilled with a special cooling method.

They're frozen alive.

I see.

Just what an alien would do.

Well?

There's no mistake. It's these two who disappeared.

While it's lucky they were saved,

the previous five couples were taken off Earth by that rocket.

Hmm. I wonder what alien is doing that and why.

Freezing alive, and targeting only young couples.

Captain, this might be a plot to make humans off of Earth.

Oh! That's the mountain cabin!

Okay. Jiro—kun and Rumiko—chan, stay here with Oka.

Let's stay together.

Spread out!

No! No, no!

What's wrong? Oh, you must be from MAT.

Are you the caretaker here?

That's right.

Were you here two nights ago?

Huh? How do you know about two nights ago?

Actually, I was suddenly summoned back on an errand by the village office,

so I had no choice but to close this cabin and head to town.

Is there another separate cabin?

Huh? You really know everything don't you?

It's a small cabin we normally don't use. It's a bit down that way.

That's it!

Here it is.

You're an alien, aren't you?!

Well done finding me.

I'm an Alien Black from Saturn.

We need more slaves on Saturn.

So we set our eyes on our neighbor, Earth.

We plan to steal 1,000 young couples from Earth

and have them make children to be our slaves.

We made use of Japan's Snow Woman legend.

Stand there like that forever.

Stop!

Persistent beanpole. Snowgon!

Stop!

They got MAT!

Go—san!

Jiro-kun!

Snow Woman, become Snowgon.

Freeze Ultraman solid!

Ultraman lost.

Yes!

What?!

Hooray! Hooray!

—Brr. —Captain!

Where's Go?

I think he went after the Snow Woman.

Captain—san!

Oh!

Ultraman beat the Snow Woman monster.

I see.

Okay, let's find Go.

Yes, sir!

Grandpa, I'm scared!

Who are you?

What's going on?

Where are we?

What?

This is Iwatake.

Iwatake?

We're caretakers of a mountain cabin in Yatsugatake.

Oh! It's Go—san!

Captain.

These two may have been attacked by the alien at Yatsugatake

and had their bodies stolen.

Your granddaughter's white like snow.

Yes.

Everyone calls her "The Snow Woman of Yatsugatake."

I see. The Snow Woman.

Aliens certainly think of a lot of different plots.

—Let's all get going! -Yes, sir!

—Let's descend! -Yes, sir!

Let's go together.

"I saw an Alien Baltan. It's true."

What did Jim and Susumu see in the building?

Robot Monster Billgamo approaches. Ultraman is in danger.

Let's all watch again next week.
