Vast! Hideous! Invincible!

An expedition in the South Pacific lands on a tropical island where the natives worship the mysterious deity Gappa. An earthquake opens up an underground cavern and a baby reptile is discovered inside.

Soon after, moma and papa Gappa start smashing Tokyo looking for their kidnapped child.
