He's late!

THE KITAYAMA SMALL SHIPS REPAIR FACTORY

Sis, Keisuke hasn't come yet.

He'll really take me to the Expo site?

Yes. Be patient and wait.

He makes you wait on dates too?

Don't be silly!

Hiroshi!

Help me.

Can this thing really dive?

Yes, but it goes down too far.

I have to test it so it won't dive more than 3 feet.

So shallow. That's nonsense!

Nonsense?

Climb up and hold the lid.

It's for the children to use at Expoland.

To be safe, it's not to dive more than 3 feet.

Like crawling on an expressway.

True. That's a Good one.

Don't be silly and get to work!

Hello!

Hello.

Hiroshi's been waiting for you.

Sorry. Heavy traffic.

Almost finished?

Yes. You recommended it. Interesting work for a change.

I'm taking Hiroshi.

Behave now!

Want to go too?

You're mean.

Sis, I forgot!

Tommy and Susan's postcard.

You have it.

My mistake! Going!

Tell Keisuke to come back with you! For supper!

I thought so.

Tommy's Papa took it.

A Good picture.

Where's Wester Island?

South Pacific - equator.

A funny stone statue.

Displaying it at Expo '70, so Dr. Williams went for it.

Why are they displaying it?

A good question. I'll explain Expo '70 first.

EXPO TOWER

JAPAN WORLD EXPOSITION SITE

This is the Expo site.

It will be held from March 15, to September 13, 1970 at Senri Hills.

Over 70 countries are participating.

We can learn about them in the more than 100 pavilions.

AUSTRALIAN PAVILION

BURMA PAVILION

SWISS PAVILION

I feel I'm in a future city.

Yes.

Scientific and industrial progress in our space age will be shown.

ELECTRIC COMMUNICATIONS PAVILION

GAS PAVILION

FUJI GROUP PAVILION

HITACHI GROUP PAVILION

SUMITOMO FAIRY-TALES PAVILION

The theme's Progress and Harmony for Mankind.

The Theme Pavilion - here we see the progress of mankind.

Inside the Sun Tower.

Look.

It explains the evolution of man in an easy way with moving models.

Relics of an ancient culture too.

Your archaeology comes in handy?

Yes. I hope people won't be attracted only by the future.

The Wester Island statue's mystery.

Let's move on.

The statue 33 ft. High - when, by whom, and for what purpose was it made?

Mr. Sawada, please return to your office!

Mr. Sawada, please return to your office.

Wester Is. Cultural envoy?

He says not to move the statue. Moving it will bring a curse.

But we've his Government's approval! It's funny!

Our Chief said so too.

But he just keeps talking about the curse.

So?

You're an expert on ancient culture, so he might listen to you.

The slide then.

Thanks.

At Expo '70, we're sending future mankind a message.

We'll put cultural data in this time capsule.

It is to be opened 5000 years later.

To study ancient history, however, we have very little to go by.

A great deal is still a mystery.

If we knew more about the Great Stone Age...

Many things might be cleared up.

Like the Mu Continent mystery.

The strange sculptures on the tiny islands of the Pacific.

Are they linked with the Mu Continent sank?

The statue called the Devil's Whistle on Wester Is. May solve it.

Jiger!

What's Jiger?

I don't know.

Thank you, Mr., Nishida.

I'm sorry, sir.

What'll we do?

Do? They've begun on the work over there.

Jiger!

The Captain of the Nankai Maru.

Thanks the other day.

Dr. Williams. We're all ready, sir.

Jet propulsion.

Be careful.

Mama! Come quickly!

It's Gamera!

A terrible monster!

Don't worry! Gamera's the children's friend.

Dr. Williams, we're waiting for your order!

Hurry! Hurry!

Arm yourselves! Hurry!

No, Papa!

Don't shoot!

Be still! Move aside!

Gamera's gentle and works for peace! Hiroshi said so!

Idiot! Don't trust a monster like that!

Gamera 's blocking us!

We'll shoot it if it interferes! Hold on!

We can't while Gamera's here!

He's coming down!

Now! Hurry!

Level the scaffold.

Call the ship.

Nankai Maru, prepare for loading!

Shoot! Shoot!

No, Papa!

Full speed ahead.

Going to the crater!

Now! Hurry!

What's that noise?

I don't know. Our chopper's okay.

Lowering the statue. Clear the deck.

Roger.

Boss, what's that noise?

Nothing's wrong, sir.

That noise?

I'm glad we got it safely.

Brother, stop, stop!

What?

Look!

Finish?

It's groovy!

You're back? Just in time. Giving it a tryout.

We'll get ready. You tell Hiroshi about Wester Is.

Should you, Father? Ready 3 days ahead of time?

Leave it to me. I'm an expert on ships.

Gamera doesn't attack people!

It's true though. He almost crushed our tent.

I was scared!

It's not true! He's our friend!

I don't believe you.

I believed you and made a fool of myself.

It's funny.

What's funny?

I bet he had a reason for interfering.

Something strange happened?

Yes!

I thought so!

An earthquake. The volcano erupted.

They couldn't be called a curse.

Curse? People will laugh. An age of computers.

Yes. The new generation mustn't be so old-fashioned.

You're wrong! Gamera wouldn't interfere!

He didn't want the statue moved.

He can't speak, so he interfered.

Maybe so.

Where's the Nankai Maru now?

Scheduled to reach Osaka tomorrow.

All ready.

Tryout! Tryout!

I hope the envoy's words don't come true.

Come over here.

That's the Nankai Maru.

Awfully big!

Let me see too.

Dr. Williams. Is anything wrong?

Contact's been broken completely.

This is Helicopter No. 1. Come in, Nankai Maru.

Come in. Come in.

How is he?

He'll be all right soon.
