You will listen to my instructions." It is an ultimatum to surrender to Planet X. Finally, there is a beep, and the voice begins. When the speakers remain silent for a long period, some wonder if the systems are compatible, but others say their system is exactly the same as ours. It is loaded onto a machine and set up to play. On arrival, the box is taken to a special international meeting and is opened to find a reel-to-reel tape. He presents a box that, he says, contains information about the miracle drug, and presents the three men with a faithful duplicate of their spaceship so they can fly home. King Ghidorah is driven off, Godzilla dances his now-infamous victory jig, and the Controller exults about that. On reaching Planet X, there is almost immediately an attack by King Ghidorah, and the thre from Earth are released to battle it. Glenn, Fuji and one of their superiors are invited aboard a spacecraft to accompany the Controller back to Planet X, a trip that takes only a few hours the Controller says that soon they'll be able to travel as fast as light. Three Planet X spacecraft rapidly fly off and extract the three monsters from Monster Island, revealing its location and leaving Varan, Manda and Baragon quite angry at being left behind, while Mothra simply states (via Tom Stevenson's translator) "This isn't our fight. The Controller finally makes his appearance overt, "apologizes" for his unannounced presence, and offers to help locate the two monsters. Then, the Controller of Planet X makes mysterious appearances on Earth, and Glenn becomes suspicious about Planet X. Scientists begin searching for Monster Island. It creates a horrific loud noise that can be heard blocks away, and wonders why nobody's interested in buying it, but then a Miss Namikawa comes and makes an offer to buy it as an educational device, but keeps putting Tetsuo off on completing the deal.įuji and Glenn arrive home, and tell their superiors of the offer by Planet X. Meanwhile, Fuji's sister has a boyfriend, Tetsuo, who's invented a personal alarm he thinks women could use to summon assistance if they're endangered. As they lift off, they say on the radio to the Controller, "We're glad we found friends on Planet X." The astronauts agree to return to Earth with the proposal. In return, Planet X will gift humanity with a wonder drug that cures all diseases. The Controller says that they want Earth's help: to be allowed to capture Monsters Zero One, Zero Two, and Zero Three, known to Earthmen as Godzilla, Rodan, and Anguirus. After a brief black-out, when the astronauts are cut off from being able to see and hear the Controller, they are assured that the monster, known as Monster Zero, has left. The astronauts recognize the attacking creature, King Ghidorah. The spacecraft is safe, he assures them, and indicates that they are about to be attacked. The astronauts are led through subterranean corridors to the office of the Controller of Planet X.

One astronaut vanishes, and the other wonders where he, and the spacecraft, have gone, and then a flat voice intones to him, instructing him where to go. The spacecraft lands, and the astronauts disembark.

The planet is rather dark, but still lit up enough to be visible and for it to be possible to navigate its surface. At the outset of the movie, the two-man spacecraft (on an off-record mission in order to make the Space Race more spectacular), crewed by one Japanese and one American (Fuji and Glenn), is approaching Jupiter to visit the newly-discovered "Planet X", which inexplicably maintains a position directly behind Jupiter.
