Hayata (Susumu Kurobe) and Akiko (Hiroko Sakurai) from Science Patrol
take her little brother to an aerial show, when they are suddenly abducted
by an alien that wants to take over earth, but peacefully, so it tries to
make Akiko's little brother tell it "I give you the earth",
after which, the alien argues, earth would be in its possession. But the
little boy refuses to give his world away, for nothing in the universe. So
the alien first grows Akiko to giant monster size to leave a trail of
destruction behind her, and when that doesn't work it becomes a giant
monster itself and destroys everything it can - and giant robot Ultraman
(Bin Furuya) isn't there to help because his human alter ego Hayata is
kept in suspended animation by the alien. Fortunately though, Science
Patrol is quick to locate the alien's UFO and free Hayata, Akiko and the
boy, and after this, Ultraman engages in battle with the monster ... but
the alien really hates violence, so it at some point in the fight just
disintegrates. Nevertheless, earth is saved once more. This
episode has its moments, and especially giant Akiko on a rampage is fun,
but overall its premise is just a bit too childish to really work, making
it one of the weaker stories of the series - but there are still giant
monsters and robots and a bit of destruction in it, so it's not a total
loss ... if you like this sort of thing.
