Monster god, Baradagi, is worshiped by a cult on an island near Japan. It becomes disturbed and wakes up from it's lake. The thing turns out to be a reptilian dinosaur that flys with membranes attached to itself. It is called Baran by Japanese scientists. The monster causes havoc on it's island and then flys to Tokyo where it is put to death by fire balloons. The American version was called Varan, the Unbelievable. Stick with the Japanese version because you can't see the monster very well in the American version and Ifukube's marvelous score is gone.
