1999年。教職のかたわら天文台職員を務める雪野弥生は、実は1000年周期で地球に近づく遊星ラーメタルからの使者であり、その間地球を統治する《1000年女王》の現女王だった。いよいよ女王交代の時が近づくが、そんな矢先、弥生の前に妹セレンが現われ、軌道を外れたラーメタルが地球侵略を計画していることを明かす。母星と地球の間で苦悩しながらも、弥生はついに女王交代を拒否し、地球を守りぬくことを決意する。

This was the first episode of Mushi Pro Land, a unique series of 60-minute animated programs. It was also Japan's first 60-minute animated TV program. However, the series never materialized and only this episode was actually aired. The story follows Stevenson's "Treasure Island," featuring characters in the form of animals. For example, the pirate Silver is illustrated as a wolf, where the main character Jim is changed into a rabbit. This has, therefore, nothing to do with the "New Treasure Island," Tezuka's masterpiece Manga.
