A group of aliens from another planet head for Earth with the intentions of conquering it. Their first ship is destroyed in transit by the giant flying turtle Gamera. A second ship makes it to Earth and captures two Boy Scouts and holds them captive so that Gamera will not attack them. The aliens then implant a remote control device into the monster's neck and use the great turtle to attack Tokyo. The boys then come up with a plan to foul up the remote control device to the point where Gamera does the opposite of what he is ordered to. As a result Gamera destroys the aliens ship, but then has to contend with their giant squid like leader Viras.

Movie Trivia:
- American International titled their U.S. version "Destroy All Planets" after the success they had with the release of Ishiro Honda's Kaijû sôshingeki (1968) under the title "Destroy All Monsters".
-
This was the first film in the series to use flashbacks from the previous Gamera films as a way of saving money on the production. In this film, the flashback sequence lasts approximately fifteen minutes.
-
This is the first film in the series to include Caucasian actors in the original Japanese release. The scenes featuring Brian Donlevy and Albert Dekker in the first film, Daikaijû Gamera (1965), were filmed later on a Hollywood soundstage in much the same way that Raymond Burr was in Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) as a way to help market that film in America.
