## Plot

Kentaro Oki is the true mastermind in the 300 million yen robbery case back in 1968. He used to go to horse racing to reduce the amount of his wages. The GIB (Global Intelligence Bureau) headquarters of the secret knitting machine, which noticed the "gold" was deposited at the Sanichi Bank in Japan, ordered by W of the GIB Japan Branch to plunder using Eriko Mouri (also known as Agent X14) and Kentaro as their agents. Eriko immediately approached Kentaro with a film of the 300 million yen robbery filmed by GIB operatives, but did not understand Kentaro, who was a follower of the Space Shinmaru religion. Eventually, the announcement of the principal idol came out as good for Eriko.

Kentaro gathered six criminals on the road, rented out the Korakuen Stadium, and held a strategy meeting behind the net of the Hanshin Tigers team. They began digging a tunnel and aiming at the safe from directly below was a great success due to the effect of the production called filming location. The "gold" was airlifted to the headquarters from the GIB cargo jet. The seven members boarded the wheel carrier, but the receiver caught a great deal of information from the Self-Defense Forces stationed closed by the mountains. It is said that their transport plane is equipped with a bomb from an unknown group. Even at that time, the aircraft was caught in the eddy fluids of Mount Fuji and crash landed at the volcanic crater.

The gang were captured by a group of GIB agents, disguised themeselves as a Self-Defense Forces soldiers and take them to their island headquarters in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. However, a hydrogen bomb exploded on the way, and Mt. Fuji also erupted, and the capsule on which Kentaro and the others were riding deviated from the orbit to the Atlantic Ocean and headed for the moon. Eventually, there were seven people dancing crazy like sleepwalkers on the moon. According to one theory, the moon is shining because of them.
