The story

“The Isle of Lost Monsters”

While battling Godzilla, Dum Dum Dugan notices Dr. Demonicus' hidden base. Meanwhile Demonicus unleashes his other giant monsters Ghilaron (a giant eight legged lizard), Lepirax (a giant moth), and Centipor (a giant centipede), against Godzilla. Gabe Jones defeats Demonicus while Godzilla kills Centipor (by burning it) and Ghilaron (by breaking its neck). Godzilla even saves Dugan from Lepirax by burning and squashing it underfoot after Lepirax was trying to destroy Dugan's helicopter. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents defeat Demonicus' men and liberate the Eskimos they were using as slaves.
