About 6 months ago...

A plane carrying an A-bomb had crashed into the Arctic Ocean.

The bomb had exploded.

It had released Gamera sealed in the ice for thousands of years.

Gamera attacked Japan.

Man-made weapons were powerless against it.

The Z Plan was the last resort.

Gamera was jettisoned in a rocket to Mars.

But it crashes into a meteor appearing in its path.

It breaks open.

Gamera is released from its capsule.

In order to store up energy...

Gamera attacks Kurobe Dam.

That?

What's that?

It's Gamera!

What's that?

It's Gamera!

Turn off the main switch!

Contact the control room!

Contact the other plants!

Cut off the power!

It's hopeless!

Gamera loves flames.

Mt. Uzal on the equator erupts suddenly.

Gamera flies towards the flowing molten lava.

Resigning from our firm?

Yes, as of today.

Why, when you've just earned your wings?

Tired of flying?

Of course not.

Life wouldn't be worth living if I couldn't fly.

That's why.

Quitting today for tomorrow's progress.

It's you?

Come in.

My brother.

Retirement pay.

My share.

A big help.

Want to be my own boss.

I want my own sightseeing plane company.

It's his dream.

Let's go over our plan once more.

It's in the cave here. An opal about this big.

I hid it just before we were sent to a POW camp.

20 years ago. Still there?

A dense jungle - not even natives go there.

I think it's safe.

A big gamble.

Right.

Worth at least 200,000,000.

A real opal?

I'm sure of it!

May be more there.

Keisuke will go in my place.

Glad to know you.

You all go on the Awaji Maru, a cargo boat.

It cost a lot to have these seamen's books forged.

For you.

Yours.

You'll board as sea men. Don't muff things.

Help us.

Oka y. Let's see...

We'll reach New Guinea in 25 days.

She'll unload some stuff, sail around, and return in a fortnight.

Find the opal during that time.

Leave the ship, then reboard it?

Say we picked up the bones of war buddies.

I see.

Charter a helicopter at Jibata.

Take black market dollars.

You'll fly the chopper.

That's why we had you join us.

Gone for if scorpions sting you.

By ready for anything in the jungle.

In case you need them.

What do they take us for?

Patience, man!

The wash room's dirty! Clean it.

Dirty it?

Not me!

Working hard?

Find us easier work.

Stick it out.

We have to clean the wash room too.

No joke.

Only 3 more days.

You're sure?

Buck up.

Don't give up.

Quite a walk into the jungle.

Feels weird.

What's this?

A guide-stone?

What's it say?

Are they words or pictures?

The map.

There should be a short-cut.

Look!

Wait!

They're good people. Don't worry.

Helped us during the war.

They won't like it. I'll keep it.

Shall we ask them to guide us?

They don't know Japanese.

I do.

You're Japanese?

Yes. You?

I'm Matsushita. Been here for over 10 years.

He and his wife came to study diseases here.

His wife died of the disease.

So he's stayed on here.

This place is a peaceful paradise.

I don't want to return to Japan.

I've Karen, a fine Japanese-speaking assistant.

What brings you here?

We heard of a cave near here and came to check.

Would you know?

Whatever your purpose, don't go there!

Why?

It's the Valley of the Rainbow.

It says so on the stone.

No one who goes there returns alive.

Why?

I don't know.

But it's been standing here for thousands of years.

An evil spirit dwells there.

Our ancestors warned us.

You won't take us?

Of course not.

They say not to go. Respect their wishes.

Hey, Kawajiri.

Its proof they've hidden treasures there.

A legend to protect their treasures?

The evil spirit's the scorpion?

Can't count on them.

Let's go.

If the treasures are theirs...

What? We've come this far.

Yes, let's go!

No! You mustn't go!

Stop! Don't go!

No! Don't go!

Mr. Onodera!

To scare them.

Came in handy already.

Let's go!

Don't go!

Stop! Don't go!

The fools.

Look out!

Mire here.

Hold on!

Coming for you!

Grab my leg!

Mr. Onodera!

There.

This is it!

What a place to hide it.

15 yards, then turn to the right. Farther in.

Be patient.

We're here.

Yes, let's be calm.

Only bats!

Hey, don't scare us! What's up?

A scorpion.

Kills even hippos in 5 minutes.

This is handy.

Its equal shares, whoever finds it.

Sure. We're buddies. Aren't we?

Around here.

Onodera! Give me a hand.

What's this? A skeleton?

So what?

It's eerie.

I found it! I found it!

Find it?

We did it!

Is this the opal?

No wonder the natives fussed!

Multi-millionaires!

I'll buy an apartment and send for my family.

No more ships for me!

It'll surprise my wife!

We're rich!

Realize your dream!

I'll buy a car and see Japan!

It's like a dream!

Say something!

Hey, say something! Happy?

Buddies are nice, aren't they?

You bet. All our troubles are over.

I can almost see my brother's happy face.

He sure will be.

Hey, Hirata!

We found the opal!

What's wrong?

A scorpion?

First-aid kit!

Hold him!

I can't see!

Don't go!

Help me!

Brace up!

Kawajiri!

Hold on!

Why is it so dark?

I can't see.

Poor man.

We couldn't help it. Don't take it too hard.

Snap out of it.

We've found it. Let's go now.

We can't take him.

That reminds me. I'll keep the opal, shall I?

Don't you trust me?

I'll keep the gun, then.

Okay.

We've come this far.

There may be some more. Let's look to make sure.

You!

Why am I here?

We saved you just in time.

But it wasn't just to be kind!

Your friend found something?

He betrayed you?

So don't hide it.

Yes, we found something. An opal.

This big.

My brother found it during the war and hid it.

So we've a right to it!

Onodera, that rascal!

What's that?

We're afraid of the gods' curse.

Their curse?

Science can't explain everything.

Trouble if it's not returned!

It'll affect the lives of many, many people!

I see. It's worth so much?

That's not the point.

Let me go to Japan!

No.

I'll go.

You must look after the sick here.

I'll go to Japan.

You'd be lost. You've never seen Japan.

I can't just wait for trouble to begin!

But...

I'll have him take me!

You seem to think it's an opal, but that isn't a gem.

It brings misfortune, so we're praying!

What is it, then?

It brings trouble, so we never go there.

But you went. You did a terrible thing!

I've never seen it.

But it is not a gem.

Come in.

Doctor.

How are you?

Fine, except for the shivers.

That's the symptom of malaria.

You certainly do radical things.

Like going without permission to pick up your buddy's bones.

Get athlete's foot in the jungle?

This kind's hard to cure.

Try infrared ray?

Please.

An unwelcome jungle gift.

Turn it off after about 20 minutes.

Continue it till we reach Japan.

Thank you.

Need one more man for mahjong.

I'm a patient, so...

So what? Doc said to come and get you.

Say so then.

Hey! Be careful.

Sorry. Not much hair.

An offering. Don't eat it.

Pretty cautious to lock it.

Something precious inside.

What?

Buddy's bones.

I see.

Hey Doc, one more time.

Let me win once.

No medical inspection yet?

Later. Going ashore tomorrow.

The sick bay won't open. Key.

What for?

This. Offering it to your buddy.

Later.

Dad died on a southern isle too.

Your buddy doesn't seem like a stranger.

Key, please.

Give it to him.

Not Gamera?

Chief engineer!

What's wrong with the ship?

Sure of the opal?

I want to see it. Buy high if it's real.

Terrible!

Mr. Onodera!

It's safe, Mr. Onodera!

I brought it.

It's precious.

What's precious?

Your buddy.

You can have it.

Pig's bones.

An Awaji Maru man?

Yes.

Know Keisuke Hirata?

Keisuke Hirata? Hirata?

He was on board.

Onodera!

Foul luck.

Where's Keisuke, my brother?

He...

What's the matter?

He died...

What? He died?

He slipped and fell down into a valley.

Kawajiri too.

I searched but I couldn't find them.

And now this. No luck at all.

Find it?

Show me!

Of course, Mr. Lee.

It was there?

Hurry.

It sank with the ship.

It was in my coat pocket.

What?

Believe me.

It's not very deep.

I'll hire a diver to find it. I won't give up now, never!

I'll look at it if you find it.

Please believe me.

That?

Purple water!

What's that?

Look!

What is it?

Wait, Onodera!

Are you okay?

Let's go back to Osaka, Onodera!

Onodera! Hurry up.

You okay?

Wait until the fuss is over?

Can't wait!

The police and insurance company will pull it up then.

It'll be too late.

Do it now?

Need money to hire a diver.

Got some?

I've 100,000 yen.

I see. In cash?

We can manage.

They say the lizard-monsters come to Osaka!

The radio said so! Let's leave.

Let's Go.

I'm afraid we can't pull it up yet.

I risked my life. Can't back out now.

Is Kobe safe now?

Before things settle down.

100,000 is enough. The money?

I'm asking you.

Let's wait and see.

Don't joke! I killed 2 men!

Onodera!

Can't wait!

You said you've killed them!

Repeat that!

Sacrificed themselves, I meant.

Liar! You said you killed 2 men!

Nonsense!

Confess! You killed them?

No!

No!

Yes, I did. I killed Keisuke.

You did it?

Stop it, Mr. Onodera!

He killed Keisuke!

Stop it! This is no time to fight!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Onodera! I'll pa y you!

Help me, Onodera!

Turn on the radio!

The vapor from the tip of the monster's tongue freezes everything.

The temperature within 600 ft. Of it has fallen to 20�C below zero.

Please evacuate immediately.

The monster has the power to freeze everything instantly.

It can destroy every thing within reach of its long tongue.

There's no way but to attack it from a distance.

The farther away, the safer it is.

We've a missile base near Kajika Pass.

It's too far away for its tongue to reach.

Evacuation completed, sir.

Standing by, sir!

Missile Corps, open fire!

Gamera loves heat energy so it's after Barugon's rainbow.

It is now flying over Osaka.

The missile corps could not cope with Barugon's rainbow.

This ends the 9 p. m. SFD announcement.

Stay tuned in for music.

How long do we have to stay in a place like this?

What's a monster or two!

Be quiet!

Look!

Gamera!

Special news!

Gamera returned a month ago from the Z Plan rocket to Mars.

After Kurobe Dam, it attacked other areas.

It loves flames as energy and has been drawn to Osaka by the rainbow.

Vulnerable to cold, Gamera has become frozen.

We've been saved from Gamera.

But the new monster's only suffered a few cuts and bruises.

It's Barugon!

Barugon?

Yes!

Karen!

Get a hold of yourself! What's the matter?

It's too late!

I didn't believe it.

We did a terrible thing.

We must do something at once!

Any way to kill it?

Yes! Take me where Barugon is! Please hurry!

Hi.

Onodera.

You!

Wait! We'll split 50-50!

Help me pull up the opal.

It's safe.

It's not a jewel!

A monster's egg!

Don't joke!

It's true! That's why she's here!

Too late. We did a terrible thing!

It was Barugon's egg!

I don't believe it. I won't.

I went to my brother's place.

Both had died in a fire.

You left before the fire!

You did it!

I don't know anything about it!

Liar!

Karen.

Thanks. I'm okay.

Help me!

Let's hurry!

I was wrong! Help me!

Hey! Hey!

Barugon has one weak point too.

Tell us, please.

A land animal, it cannot live in the water.

The skin melts and purple blood flows out.

According to our ancestors, its strength weakens in the water.

It cannot send out freezing vapor.

The only way is to drown it.

Any ideas?

Yes.

We've had this diamond for generations.

What has it to do with Barugon?

It likes bright things.

Use the diamond to lure it into the water.

Many more in your village?

Don't!

Just this now.

Barugon's born once in 1,000 years in my village.

Each time, a diamond is sunk in a lake to lure it into the water.

I grant that it's very valuable.

But will Barugon be lured by it?

To doubt it is to doubt our god.

We've no choice. Please try Operation Diamond.

Operation Diamond?

Is there a lake large enough to sink it?

There's Lake Biwa.

I can't!

Use a knife!

Hurry!

Watch out!

A big fuss outside.

Sinking a 5,000 carat diamond to kill Barugon.

What? 5,000 carats?

A native girl brought it.

Really?

I heard the broadcast.

I see.

They've jewels better than the opal.

Just watch me!

Lake Biwa's best to keep Barugon away from Kyoto.

The brilliance of a 5,000 carat diamond will be used to drown it.

It won't move, Karen!

It's strange.

It won't work!

Why?

Hopeless!

What's wrong?

If the legend's true...

I don't understand - it shows no interest at all.

That's why I didn't believe such a stupid plan.

Only children would be fooled. A fairy tale.

The diamond's funny. There's none so big in the whole world.

Success or failure, she ca me from New Guinea!

It's an imitation?

Have you forgotten your acts brought this on?

That's why I...

Enough!

I'm ashamed of what I did.

But you should trust her!

She failed, didn't she?

What you say is!

Stop it!

I apologize.

I'm leaving.

We're grateful for what you did.

Dr. Sato of the Awaji Maru, sir.

Thank you for coming.

I'm Sato.

A terrible thing.

We're stunned.

You've a suggestion, I hear.

I believe Barugon's egg was exposed to infrared ray.

Onodera, who had the egg, was receiving treatment for his foot.

If he forgot to turn it off...

The egg was exposed to the ray for a considerable time.

The ship's electric current was cut off by Gamera.

But for some reason the infrared ray was still on.

I know now.

Our legend says it takes 10 years to become so big.

I see.

The ray made it grow faster?

Yes, a freak with an abnormal body.

Theoretically, it's possible.

Like mothers bearing freaks due to radioactivity.

So it shows no interest in the diamond?

That's right.

Can't something be done about it?

Yes.

Raise the voltage of the diamond.

The ray speeded up its growth, so he must like it.

Expose the diamond to the ray...

And lure Barugon with it.

Any way to keep Barugon where it is?

It is said we prayed for rain.

Please pray for rain.

Water weakens it. If it rains, it can't move.

It's easy to make it rain now, isn't it?

Yes, man-made rain from helicopters.

Mist-like liquid is rained down.

Ma n-made rain is tried to stop its movements.

It would stop it from sending out freezing vapor a t the same time.

This is a ruby-type death-ray projector.

The ruby changes the wave-length of light.

And breaks down molecules.

Still experimenting. It hasn't been put to practical use yet.

The light will be changed to infrared ray.

We'll use the diamond instead.

Skip any further experiments and try it on Barugon at once.

Don't get jittery. Be calm.

I am, sir!

Change the direction!

The diamond, please.

Be calm.

Rodger. Standing by.

Start!

Very well, we'll start.

Keep a distance.

Switch!

It's moving! It's moving!

Let's go!

It's a success!

What's up?

Trouble!

Step on it!

Oka y!

What's the matter, Professor Amano?

Turn off the light!

Dangerous! Keep a distance!

Don't touch the switch yet!

Now!

Move the forces!

Move to Lake Biwa!

Get on! Start!

It's crazy! I won't let them sink the diamond!

Don't, if it's dangerous!

Shut up!

Don't go!

Let go!

Barugon's immense size is due to infrared ray.

It has reached Lake Biwa, led by the diamond.

A legend says by sinking the diamond...

Barugon will follow it and drown.

A 20,000,000,000 yen diamond. Sinking it means the end of Barugon.

Let us pray that the legend is true.

Our legend was true.

A great success.

Why are you here?

The diamond's mine!

Still greedy? We brought this on!

Stop it!

What's that?

Go and check!

Professor Amano!

I've a right to it!

Onodera!

Stay away or I'll shoot!

Barugon's swallowed both man and diamond.

The only way to get rid of it has been lost.

Use the choppers!

Make rain to keep it in one place.

No use coming here.

It appears once in 1,000 years. My people haven't seen it...

Nor its rainbow.

I've been told how terrible it is since I was a child.

I wanted to see for myself.

We can never kill it.

It's punishment for going for it!

Rear-view mirror?

Why is it left? Everything else disappeared.

Everything vanished in an instant except the mirror.

There's a weakness in Barugon too.

Isn't Barugon's rainbow a sort of death-ray too?

Yes, I believe we could say that.

Light, when it hits a mirror, is reflected.

Repelling the rainbow's energy, it was safe.

I see. Reflection.

The principle's simple, but you may've hit on something.

Can't we use it on Barugon?

I'm only an amateur but I have an idea.

The heat's thousands of degrees - melts steel.

But why doesn�t the gas stove and burner melt?

It's simple. The flames are ejected out.

If the flames are turned on the burner itself?

There's no gas in this one.

As you can see, it cannot stand the heat.

So if the rainbow's turned on Barugon...

What do you think?

A remarkable idea, but isn't it an impossible thing to do?

It's possible with a mirror.

Make a large mirror to reflect Barugon's rainbow.

In theory, Barugon would die by its own rainbow.

Operation Reflection...

Please carry it out!

The micro-wave antenna at Mt. Kajika is turned into a mirror.

The mirror's supports are treated to a mercurial preparation.

Action is also taken to keep Barugon in one spot.

Preparations have been completed.

All modern weapons are used to make Barugon send out its rainbow.

They hope it will send out its rainbow.

Left, 350� 8'!

Dip, 28� 56'!

Stop!

Correct range!

Standing by, sir!

Angle left, 38� 5'.

Nightfall's better-easier to see the rainbow?

Yes, I agree with you.

No one's near the antenna?

Every thing's done by remote control.

Open fire!

Is it dead?

A success?

It must be made to send out another rainbow!

More rainbow!

Is there any way to make it do it?

No!

It won't do it.

Why? Why, Karen?

Born in the jungle, animals are my friends. I know them.

Hurt by a mistake, they never repeat it.

That's right.

It won't send out any more.

This ends Operation Reflection.

Is there nothing we can do?

The buildings frozen by Barugon begin to thaw.

Gamera has regained consciousness.

Gamera is moving!

This is Osaka, sir!

Gamera has begun to move!

It's come back to life?

I understand!

It's revived?

Barugon's weaker, now it's Gamera?

Even 20th Century science can't cope with monsters?

What is that?

It's Gamera!

Evacuate!

Wait!

Barugon's in the water!

It may succeed.

A rainbow!

It's stopped!

It's Barugon's end.

Complete defeat!

It's Gamera!

I did a terrible thing by going to New Guinea.

I sacrificed many lives.

We did all we could.

I can't apologize to you enough.

People shouldn't be too Greedy, should they?

I'll take you home. Let's go to New Guinea again.

Really?

I lost my only brother. I'm all alone.

You're not alone.
