A little runt of a kid gets lost in his fantasy world a Godzilla films as he fantasizes about visiting Monster Island and befriends "the son of Godzilla" who rescues him from a big pit and various other creatures. This film has him both in his real home and his make-believe world, and somehow he thinks that he's in some of the Godzilla movies that he's already seen, creating his own adventure. Baby lizard can talk (A goofy cartoon kind of speak), and obviously the mission of this dream is to get the kid to learn to stand up for himself, against bullies that overact so badly you long to see a monster appear and eat them. But he has to deal with real human monsters on Earth and addition to the bullies with two idiotic bank robbers who mamage to abduct him.
The dubbing for this film is truly absurd, with a Japanese used car salesman sounding someone like Paul Lynde and the two bank robbers equally as ridiculous. The storyline in real time is not very entertaining, so the limited footage on Monster Island ends up being the only interesting stuff, although it's still very juvenile in nature, obviously made for early Saturday matinee audiences and not really intended for mature viewers. At times, it's genuinely painful to sit through. The toy shop where the kid hangs out features some truly ridiculous Contraptions, including a moving glove that seems to be calling out "support your local police" or something along that nature. One of the creatures on the island has a dog barking like sound that has to be heard to be believed. The young monster gives a clue that even in the Monster World, there are wimps and nerds and bullies, and for those who haven't seen Son of Godzilla, the rocks baseball game between Godzilla and the lobster is edited in here, followed by the big lobster boiling moment. Overall, a pretty lazy production with nothing to offer to the series.
