Earth is invaded by Big Fire (the Gargoyle Gang in the U.S.) led by Emperor Guillotine, who commands from a hidden ocean spaceship and kidnaps scientists to build a monster army. Boy Daisaku Kusama and Unicorn agent Jūrō Minami survive a sea‑monster attack, are captured, then escape to a secret base where captive scientist Lucius Guardian constructs a giant robot. Guardian gives them the control device, sacrifices himself, detonates a bomb that destroys the base and awakens the robot, which now obeys only Daisaku.
