| Synopsis: |
Scientists first ignore the fact that a meteor from outer space has struck Earth in Asia at an angle, making the area devoid of natural features, which they call "The Bald Spot." However, when they discover that the Bald Spot is growing in size, the scientists investigate and discover a strange life form: jelly fish with heads or protoplasmen as they call them. Rex investigates and discovers a way to destroy the enemy. |
