Captain Rocket, a scientist dedicated to protecting Earth from cosmic threats, confronts an invasion of green alien beings from beneath the underworld who have unleashed monstrous creatures upon civilization. Using a spectroscope to identify the aliens' weakness—ultraviolet rays—Captain Rocket defeats their leader and forces them to retreat. As chaos spreads across Earth's cities with giant monsters destroying buildings and military weapons proving ineffective, Captain Rocket races against time to reach his laboratory and implement a solution before the alien forces can annihilate humanity.
