A kaiju film produced by Nikkatsu in 1967 during the kaiju boom. Based on an original idea by Akira Watanabe, the screenplay was adapted by Iwao Yamazaki from "Song of Wanderers" and Ryuzo Nakayama from "Kill or Be Killed," and directed by Haruyasu Noguchi, known for "Japanese Yakuza Story: Flower of the Yakuza." The film centers on the threat of giant monsters and the bond between parent and child, integrating elements of romance into its ambitious narrative. Magazine reporter Hiroshi Kurosaki, along with photographer Ito Koiyagi, embarks on an exploration of the South Sea Islands under the orders of company president Funatsu. They are accompanied by biological sciences assistant professor Tonooka, but when the three of them land on a volcanic island, they discover a creepy cave. Deep inside, they find a giant egg, which the islanders claim belongs to Gappa. Gappa is a reptile over 70 meters tall, with a body covered in crocodile-like scales, four legs, and large wings extending from its front legs to its tail. Just as the egg hatches and a Gappa youngling appears, Kurosaki, thrilled by the unexpected find, decides to take it back to Japan despite the islanders' protests due to fears of Gappa's wrath...
