The story concerns four animals fighting to expel war from the earth. Though based on the "Band of Bremen (Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten)", Tezuka Osamu's fans could easily associate the story with "The Amazing Three." The cat, dog, donkey, and chicken who transform into human beings with the power of spacemen and fight to save the earth are entirely reminiscent of the three characters in the "Amazing Three" who transform themselves into animals and devote all their energies to saving the earth.

Nuclear testing has resulted in the abrupt evolution of the Fumoon, a tiny but highly intelligent humanoid race on a small island, who are detected by Dr. Yamadano. Except for a few witnesses including the detective Shinsaku Ban, and the young men Rock and Kenichi and Kenichi’s sister Pichi (Pinoko), no one believes him. The Fumoon are kidnapping animals from around the world to bring with them as they use their space ships to evacuate the earth, because they know Earth is shortly to be destroyed by an enveloping cloud of black gas created by a stellar explosion. The Fumoon intend to abandon mankind, but one Fumoon, Rokoko, who becomes good friends with Kenichi, tries to help Dr. Yamadano and the others to develop a space ship to allow a few humans to escape, with the help of Dr. Ochanomizu and Dr. Frankenstein.

Bander es un chico de 17 años de la Tierra que vive en un planeta distante, que está poblado por cambiaformas humanos que se alimentan de vegetales y colas de animales. Pronto estalla la violencia, cuando los invasores lanzan un ataque contra el nuevo planeta de Bander. Esta fue la primera película animada de Japón de 2 horas para televisión. El programa recibió altas calificaciones cuando se transmitió como parte de un conjunto de programas de televisión de 24 horas llamado "Ai wa Chikyu wo Sukuu" en Nippon Television. Luego de una larga brecha desde su última película animada para televisión, este trabajo refleja plenamente el deseo de Osamu Tezuka de lograr calidad teatral con esta producción.
