Gamera escapes from his rocket enclosure and makes his way back to Earth as a giant opal from New Guinea is brought back to Japan. The opal is discovered to have been an egg that births a new monster called Barugon. The creature attacks the city of Osaka by emitting a destructive rainbow ray from his back, along with a freezing spray capable of incapacitating Gamera.

Viewing Notes
The first sequel to the GAMERA film features a mix of human drama and entertaining miniatures effects. Barugon is so oddly goofy, with his weird cold-ray firing mouth appendage and rainbow fin attack. This one focuses a great deal on the main human characters and doesn’t feel as obviously targeted to children, but it’s still pretty mild overall.
