Three children, two boys and a girl, stumble upon a flying saucer. The boys both step into the ship without hesitating and are whisked away to a planet in Earth's orbit, but on the exact opposite side of the Sun. Inhabiting this planet are two women (named Barbella and Flobella) who hypnotize the children to discover they fantasize mainly about Gamera, their favorite super turtle. It is later revealed that the spacewomen simply want to eat the brains of the two kids. Back home, no one will believe the little girl's story of alien abduction, not even Officer Kondo. Finally, Gamera rescues the children while fighting Guiron, a monster with a giant knife-like head which can also fire deadly cutting projectiles. After a fierce battle, Gamera eventually kills Guiron while doing gymnastics on a parallel bar and then finally is able to take the children back home. Stars Nobuhiro Kajima, Miyuki Akiyama, Christopher Murphy and Edith Hanson. This is the Japanese language version of Attack Of The Monsters (also available here at Rare Movie Collector). (In Japanese language, with English subtitles).
