General Tachibana believes that the loss of
an American submarine off the coast of Guam is the work of Godzilla
who, it seems, has returned to menace Japan fifty years after his
attack on Tokyo. Tachibana and his journalist daughter Yuri investigate
a series of mysterious events that could indicate the presence of
Godzilla, learning that there also exists triumvirate of "Holy
Beasts of Yamato," three god-monsters from Japan's legendary
past. The monsters, King Ghidorah, Mothra and Baragon are revived
to defend Japan against the onslaught of Godzilla. AVAILABILITY
