Japanese Summary
Earth is invaded by an interstellar terrorist group from the Planet Gargoyle, Big Fire, led by Emperor Guillotine, who plans to rule the world. Guillotine spends most of his time in a multicolored space ship hidden at the bottom of the ocean, from which he issues his orders. The Big Fire soldiers including Lieutenant Piranha and their Commander Spider has been capturing scientists to create an army of monsters to rampage on Earth. A boy named Daisaku Kusama, his two pets Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse, and a young man named Jūrō Minami, who is a member of the secret peacekeeping organization in Tokyo, Unicorn, are shipwrecked on an island after their ship is attacked by the sea monster Dracolon and captured by Big Fire soldiers. They end up in an elevator leading to a complex where a Pharaoh-like robot is being built for the purpose of world domination by captive scientist Lucius Guardian, who gives Daisaku its control device. Guardian helps Daisaku, Jūrō, Tom and Jerry escape before he is executed by Big Fire for betrayal; before he dies, he triggers an atomic bomb which destroys the base. The explosion activates the robot, which obeys Daisaku. The boy, Tom and Jerry are invited by Jūrō and his chief, Azuma, to join Unicorn and fight Big Fire with Giant Robo.

Dracolon the Great Sea Monster
In Japan, Young Johnny Sokko and his two pets, Thomas "Tom" Cat and Jerry Mouse, embarks on an ocean voyage, but suddenly, the ship was under attack by the giant sea monster Dracolon. Tom, Jerry, Johnny and their new friend Jūrō Mano, who is an agent of the Unicorn Branch Agency in Tokyo as U3, wash ashore, and are captured by the villainous Gargoyle Gang, a space terrorist organization from the Planet Gargoyle, headed by their master, Emperor Guillotine. It is revealed that not long ago, Guillotine and his men have come from Gargoyle on their goal to conquer the Earth, and are basing under the ocean near Japan.

Nucleon the Magic Globe
After being transported back to Tokyo by the Giant Robot, originally created for the Gargoyle Gang's world domination by Lucius Guardian, Johnny is initiated into the Unicorn Agency as U7 with Tom and Jerry sharing the same title of U40. When a glowing meteor, known as Nucleon, plummets to Earth as being send by Emperor Guillotine and his Gargoyle Gang, the Unicorn agents are sent to investigate. The meteor bursts open a a massive metal globe rolls out. Nucleon is more than just a rolling wrecking ball– it sprouts arms, flies and destroys obstacles with blinding hear rays. As Emperor Guillotine planned, Nucleon is to trick the Giant Robot into trying to stop it and allowing Spider and his men to recover it for him. On Guillotine's commands, the Gargoyles captures Jūrō and Johnny and knocks them out, causing the Giant Robot to freeze due to not having more control through the boy's watch. But only Tom and Jerry manage to escape the Gargoyles and alerts Azuma and the other Unicorn Agents.

While Nucleon is carrying the Giant Robot on its way back to Guillotine's ship, the Gargoyle Gang plans to brainwash Johnny and Jūrō into their Emperor's servitude, but Tom and Jerry, with Commander Azuma and his Unicorn members engage in a battle, distracting the Gargoyles long enough for Johnny and Jūrō to awake. Johnny commands the Giant Robot to demolish the massive Nucleon, which it succeeds doing so. Once again, the benevolent Unicorns triumph, but Guillotine is unwilling to give up yet, and swears that he shall conquer in the end.

Gargoyle Vine, A Space Plant
A few days later, Emperor Guillotine hires a silver alien scientist from the far planet, Dr, Botanus, to do his bidding on dominating the world, with the necessary need of dealing with Unicorn and the Giant Robot.

Tyrox, A Strange Monster
The next day, Guillotine sends his Gargoyle Gang and Dr. Botanus to Arabia where Tyrox, a gigantic beast from the Planet Gargoyle, has been stomping down refineries and torching oil derrick throughout the Middle East country.

Emperor Guillotine

 * Ha ha ha ha ha ha! As you wish, I'll identify myself. I am Emperor Guillotine from the Planet Gargoyle. And my purpose? Ha! I have come to conquer the Earth with my organization, the Gargoyle Gang. Now, feel the power of the Emperor!
 * That Unicorn Agent, that young boy and his cat and mouse have stolen the Flying Robot. Very well, I shall teach them a lesson.
 * Spider, you will order Dracolon to pursuit our Giant Robot's thieves and attack them immediately!
 * Have you located the Flying Robot, Spider?
 * You had better! For your information, I cannot fulfill my total plan of world domination as long as the Flying Robot is in the hands of Unicorn. You must succeed to recover the Giant Robot, or you will suffer the consequences if you fail.
 * Silence, you idiot! Why do you have to question me after I have already sent Nucleon down to Earth?
 * Of course, Spider. Unleash Nucleon! The robot will try to stop it, and then, you and your men will capture it for me. Do you understand?
 * Johnny Sokko, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse. But if you and the rest of Unicorn think you are through with me, Emperor Guillotine from Gargoyle, you are sadly mistaken. I shall never give up, and I shall conquer your planet in the end.
 * The robot is preparing to fight Nucleon! Now we must steal it back!
 * (evil laughter) Ahh, yes. The Giant Robot is mine. (more evil laughter)
 * I want the Earth for myself. And that is why I brought you from the far planet to work with my Gargoyle Gang, Dr. Botanus. You will conquer it for me.
 * But you must beware, for you might have some trouble with the Flying Robot, that child Johnny Sokko and his two pets, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse.
 * You failed me, Dr. Botanus, but I am a generous emperor. You will get another chance. And this time, make sure you destroy the Giant Robot, along with Tom and Jerry!
 * Dr. Botanus, you and Commander Spider will start in Arabia, where you are to burn all of the oil reserves, and then we will go on to make slaves on the people of the entire Earth.
 * This time, I have provided a monster that can destroy the Giant Robot. The world should soon be under my power.

Spider

 * Emperor Guillotine, Gargoyle Gang commander Spider reporting.
 * We obey your command, sir. [To his men including Piranha:] Now then, our conquest is under way. The Gargoylian sea monster Dracolon goes into action. His target: Tokyo.

Dr. Botanus

 * Yes, Emperor Guillotine. I will.
 * So I might. But the Gargoyle Vine will easily despose of them. The world will be in your power before long.
 * Only Dr. Botanus can control the plant monster.
 * Spider, there is no other plant scientist in the world. I must use him as villainy. He will help us spread Gargoyle Vines all over Earth.
 * Yes, I will use Tyrox. The Giant Robot, Johnny Sokko, Tom and Jerry, and the all of Unicorn are nothing, sir.
 * The world is as good as yours for the taking.
