Information: Five lively friends who live together in an apartment block go exploring an uninhabited island. They discover a deserted, hidden computer complex. Records reveal that the complex was built by a once-famous scientist, working alone after the world ridiculed his prediction that a subterranean demonic civilization would soon invade the Earth. The scientist constructed his system to defend humanity from the underworld despots, but he died before the invasion became a reality. The five heroes pledge themselves to become the foresighted scientist's successors and to carry out his mission. They bravely venture into action in the super-robot Godam against the devilish aggressors.
