Plot change

The Vice Minister of Industry of the Republic of Alabanda, Klima, has come to Japan to purchase materials for building a water dam in the country. Jiro Kitami, who called himself a salesman and met with Klima, acted as his bodyguard. However, when Kitami learns that a large number of industrial cylinders have been purchased that have nothing to do with the dam construction, Klima secretly confines his secretary and her father and threatens him to produce poison gas.

Klima plans to send the poison gas into a cylinder and send it to Alabanda to cause a civil war between the government and local guerrillas. At the same time, Klima secretly investigates Kitami's identity and finds out that he is an undercover agent working for ISP (International Secret Police).
