An anthology of three Tezuka oneshots from the late 1960's.

  • The Runaway Tanker - Newscaster Goro Tsukinashi is invited to board the world's first atomic-powered, computer-operated oil tanker, the Osakabe Maru. While on its maiden voyage, everything that could go wrong, does go wrong. Can the passengers survive aboard this voyage of the damned?

  • Land of the Tigermen - Television director Goro Ibukuro makes his living exploiting the talents of others on his most popular show, World's Cruelest Acts. After hearing about a tribe of "Tigermen" that live in the hinterlands of Borneo that apparently have a miracle cure in the form of a ceremony, he decides to set off and film them. However, he might have taken on more than he bargained for…

  • The Spaceman's Base - Set during the Occupation of Tripoli during World War II, two American soldiers and a German soldier are held hostage by a Japanese boy who hijacks the Americans' Jeep. The boy's destination is the mysterious ruins of Wadan-Wadan, located in the middle of nowhere. What is the connection between the boy and these ruins?
