[ Story ]
A passenger plane, flying on course, is suddenly forced down by a huge flying-saucer. The passengers are unhurt. But one of them, trying to escape, is suddenly engulfed by the huge craft which had originally forced them down.
Then a horrible thing happens. The Gokemidoro, the creature from the flying-saucer, penetrates the man, inhabits him, then sends him back to the other survivors. The others watch, horrified, as, one by one, this man-monster (Hideo Ko) kills them and drinks their blood.
The pilot (Teruo Yoshida) finally kills him by setting him on fire, but the creature from space quickly inhabits the body of the space biologist (Masaya Takahashi) who shortly begins killing and blood-sucking.
Terror-stricken, the last two escape and finally come to a highway, filled with automobiles. They think that they are saved until they notice that the autos are not moving and they see that all the drivers are dead, their throats cut, sucked dry. Other space monsters are loose - they are everywhere. There is no hope.
