"It could be Mothra's asleep at present. Our prayers will reach its source and it will arrive. Yes, I'm sure Mothra is soon going to hear us!"
A man is lost at sea and his brother with some friends tries to find him, but their lucks not in as they encounter Ebirah, a giant lobster, who smashes their yacht. They wash up on an island, where some terrorists are making heavy water, and have enslaved the local islanders to do this. To avoid capture the friends team up with an escaped native girl and hide in some caves. There they stumble on a sleeping Godzilla and they devise a plan to awaken in the hope that the monster will help them defeat the gang and free the slaves. Que monster fight number one, before Godzilla then takes on Mothra in the second bout of the evening.
One of the lesser Godzilla adventures, mainly because it takes some time to get to him, but once he arrives the film livens up considerably, with some great fight sequences.
