For ... reasons, bee specialist professor Kimura (Susumu Kurobe) has developed honey zelion, a concentrated form of royal jelly designed to grow bees to many times their size. Thing is, a mole has somehow managed to find its way into the professor's lab and has swallowed up all the honey zelion, and now it has grown to giant size, with everything that comes with that, like devouring the neighbourhood lifestock, derailing trains and the like. It doesn't take our team of reporters, Jun (Kenji Sahara), Yuriko (Hiroko Sakurai) and Ippei (Yasuhiko Saijo) long to investigate the scene - and find out the mole couldn't have dug its way into the lab, but find one of the lab's windows smashed. And soon enough it's found out that Kimura's colleague Itami (Hiroshi Iwashita) has gotten the mole into the lab as he was jealous of Kimura, not only because of his professional success - developing honey zelion - but also he's engaged to Itami's secret love Ayuko (Keiko Sawai). Itami is apprehended, but then manages to escape and tries to right his wrong by luring the giant mole into a system of caves he then blows up, even if it means sacrificing his own life in the process ...

An in many ways run-of-the-mill of Ultra Q that's marred by two things: Firstly the melodramatics are really turned to eleven here, something that by creating its own drama really derives from the over-arching tension of the monster-plot - and one has to admit, the whole spurned-lover subplot is a bit on the over-simplistic side. Secondly, the mole monster is just a tad under-whelming, looking like exactly what it is, a guy on all fours wearing a fluffy mole suit, where little has been done in ways of realism. On the upside of course, most of the effects are very decent ... and really, overblown melodramatics and bad monstersuits can be fun in their own right, so not a total waste of time, just not good in the orignal sense of the word.
