Description: Near future. Humanity is exploring space. But every expedition from the lunar base to Mars ends in failure, as a mysterious flying object appears and destroys the rocket. However, the Japanese are making another attempt to reach the red planet on the newest spacecraft "AAB-Gamma" under the leadership of Captain Sano. As the rocket approaches Mars, an unidentified object reappears and covers the ship in strange pores. The astronauts decide to take a piece of this substance for study and return to Earth. There, the substance is placed in the laboratory, but it burns a hole in the floor and disappears. The substance soon turns into a hideous monster and begins to cause panic in Tokyo. The authorities and military are trying to stop the alien monster...
